CI/CD for Ruby
📚 Learn more about Ruby action features, integrations and alternatives.
With Buddy, you can create a pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys Ruby applications on a push to Git. The configuration is super simple and takes 10 to 15 minutes.

1. Select your Git repository
Buddy supports all popular Git hosting providers, including GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab. You can also use your own private Git server, or host code directly on Buddy.

2. Add a new delivery pipeline
Enter the pipeline's name, select the trigger mode, and define the branch from which Buddy will fetch your code:

Trigger modes
- Manually (on click) — recommended for Production
- On events (automatic) — recommended for Development
- On schedule (on time interval) — recommended for Staging/Testing
3. Add actions
Buddy lets you choose from dozens of predefined actions. In this example, we'll add 5 actions that will perform the following tasks:
- Test your Ruby application
- Compile assets with Gulp
- Upload code to server together with compiled assets
- Restart server
- Send notification to Slack
3.1 Test your Ruby app
Look up and click Ruby on the action list to add it to the pipeline:

The Run tab lets you determine the commands to execute. The default commands are:
bundle install
rake test

3.1.2 Ruby version
You can change the version of Ruby and install missing packages & tools in the runtime environment tab:

3.2 Compile assets with Gulp
Next, add a Gulp action that will compile your assets and minify the code:

3.3 Deploy application to server
The built application needs to be uploaded to the server. Head to the Transfer section and select your action (SFTP in our case):

When adding the action you can choose what and where should be uploaded:

3.4 Restart server
Once the app is deployed, you can run additional commands on your server with the SSH action:

Enter the commands to execute in Run CMDs and configure authentication details in the Target tab:

4. Summary
Congratulations! You have just automated your entire delivery process. Make a push to the selected branch and watch Buddy fetch, build, and deploy your project. With Continuous Delivery applied, you can now focus on what's really important: developing awesome apps! 🔥
