Pipeline Optimization and Best Practices
Pipeline Optimization and Best Practices
Pipeline Performance Optimization
Parallel Execution
// Parallel Stage Execution
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Parallel Tests') {
parallel {
stage('Unit Tests') {
steps {
sh 'mvn test'
}
}
stage('Integration Tests') {
steps {
sh 'mvn verify'
}
}
stage('Security Scan') {
steps {
sh 'run-security-scan.sh'
}
}
}
}
}
}
Resource Optimization
// Resource Management
pipeline {
agent any
options {
timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS')
timestamps()
buildDiscarder(logRotator(
numToKeepStr: '10',
artifactNumToKeepStr: '5'
))
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
agent {
docker {
image 'maven:3.8.4-openjdk-11'
args '-v $HOME/.m2:/root/.m2 -m 4g'
reuseNode true
}
}
steps {
sh 'mvn -B -DskipTests clean package'
}
}
}
}
Pipeline Design Patterns
Template Pattern
// Shared Pipeline Template
@Library('pipeline-library') _
def call(Map config) {
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Checkout') {
steps {
checkout scm
}
}
stage('Build') {
steps {
script {
buildStep(config)
}
}
}
stage('Test') {
steps {
script {
testStep(config)
}
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
when { expression { config.deploy } }
steps {
script {
deployStep(config)
}
}
}
}
}
}
Strategy Pattern
// Deployment Strategy Implementation
class DeploymentStrategy {
static def blueGreen(script, config) {
script.stage('Blue-Green Deploy') {
script.parallel(
blue: {
deploy('blue', config)
},
green: {
deploy('green', config)
}
)
script.input 'Switch to new version?'
switchTraffic(config)
}
}
static def canary(script, config) {
script.stage('Canary Deploy') {
deploy('canary', config)
script.sleep 300 // Monitor for 5 minutes
if (healthCheck()) {
deploy('production', config)
}
}
}
}
Code Organization
Shared Libraries Structure
// vars/standardPipeline.groovy
def call(body) {
def config = []
body.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST
body.delegate = config
body()
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
script {
buildUtils.compile(config)
}
}
}
stage('Test') {
steps {
script {
testUtils.runTests(config)
}
}
}
}
}
}
Modular Pipeline Components
// src/org/example/BuildUtils.groovy
package org.example
class BuildUtils implements Serializable {
def script
BuildUtils(script) {
this.script = script
}
def compile(config) {
script.sh """${config.buildCommand}"""
}
def archive() {
script.archiveArtifacts artifacts: '**/*.jar'
}
}
Error Handling
Robust Error Management
// Error Handling Implementation
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
script {
try {
sh 'mvn clean install'
} catch (Exception e) {
echo "Build failed: ${e.message}"
currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
error "Build step failed"
} finally {
junit '**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml'
}
}
}
}
}
post {
failure {
emailext subject: "Build Failed: ${env.JOB_NAME}",
body: "Build failed: ${env.BUILD_URL}",
to: 'team@example.com'
}
}
}
Retry Mechanisms
// Retry Logic Implementation
def deploy(config) {
retry(3) {
sleep(time: 10, unit: 'SECONDS')
try {
sh "./deploy.sh ${config.environment}"
} catch (Exception e) {
echo "Deployment failed, retrying..."
throw e
}
}
}
Pipeline Monitoring
Performance Metrics
// Pipeline Metrics Collection
class PipelineMetrics {
static void recordMetrics(script) {
def duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - script.currentBuild.startTimeInMillis
script.node('metrics') {
influxdb(
customDataMap: [
build_duration: duration,
build_result: script.currentBuild.result,
build_number: script.currentBuild.number
],
target: 'jenkins-metrics'
)
}
}
}
Pipeline Analytics
// Analytics Implementation
class PipelineAnalytics {
static def analyzeBuild(script) {
def metrics = [
duration: script.currentBuild.duration,
result: script.currentBuild.result,
timestamp: script.currentBuild.startTimeInMillis,
stages: collectStageMetrics(script)
]
archiveMetrics(metrics)
generateReport(metrics)
}
static def collectStageMetrics(script) {
script.currentBuild.rawBuild.getExecution().getStages().collect {
[
name: it.name,
duration: it.duration,
status: it.status.toString()
]
}
}
}
Best Practices
Code Style Guidelines
// Pipeline Style Guide
pipeline {
// Use descriptive stage names
stage('Static Code Analysis') {
steps {
// Group related steps
script {
def scannerHome = tool 'SonarScanner'
withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
// Use clear variable names
def sonarProperties = """
sonar.projectKey=my-project
sonar.sources=src
sonar.tests=test
"""
sh "${scannerHome}/bin/sonar-scanner ${sonarProperties}"
}
}
}
}
}
Documentation Standards
// Pipeline Documentation
/**
* Deployment Pipeline
*
* This pipeline handles the deployment process for the application
* including building, testing, and deploying to multiple environments.
*
* Required credentials:
* - docker-registry: Docker registry credentials
* - kubernetes-config: Kubernetes cluster configuration
*
* Environment variables:
* - APP_VERSION: Application version to deploy
* - TARGET_ENV: Target environment (dev/staging/prod)
