Automating Node.js Deployments With a Custom CI/CD Server

[ad_1]

It is possible that managing and deploying Node.js applications can become a bottleneck as projects grow. Having a properly designed Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline can help reduce the burden of frequent updates, simplify dependency management, and eliminate the need for manual restart processes, thereby avoiding these bottlenecks.

In this tutorial, we will create a custom CI/CD server that listens to GitHub webhook events and performs deployments using GitHub Actions, PM2, and shell scripting. This enables us to:
