--- comments: false type: index --- # GitLab CI/CD Examples This page contains links to a variety of examples that can help you understand how to implement [GitLab CI/CD](../README.md) for your specific use case. Examples are available in several forms. As a collection of: - `.gitlab-ci.yml` [template files](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates) maintained in GitLab. When you create a new file via the UI, GitLab will give you the option to choose one of these templates. This will allow you to quickly bootstrap your project for CI/CD. If your favorite programming language or framework are missing, we would love your help by sending a merge request with a new `.gitlab-ci.yml` to this project. - Repositories with [example projects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples) for various languages. You can fork and adjust them to your own needs. Projects include demonstrations of [multi-project pipelines](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/multi-project-pipelines) and using [Review Apps with a static site served by nginx](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/review-apps-nginx/). - Examples and [other resources](#other-resources) listed below. ## CI/CD examples The following table lists examples with step-by-step tutorials that are contained in this section. | Use case | Resource | |:----------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Browser performance testing | [Browser Performance Testing with the Sitespeed.io container](browser_performance.md). | | Clojure | [Test a Clojure application with GitLab CI/CD](test-clojure-application.md). | | Deployment with Dpl | [Using `dpl` as deployment tool](deployment/README.md). | | Elixir | [Testing a Phoenix application with GitLab CI/CD](test_phoenix_app_with_gitlab_ci_cd/index.md). | | End-to-end testing | [End-to-end testing with GitLab CI/CD and WebdriverIO](end_to_end_testing_webdriverio/index.md). | | Game development | [DevOps and Game Dev with GitLab CI/CD](devops_and_game_dev_with_gitlab_ci_cd/index.md). | | GitLab Pages | See the [GitLab Pages](../../user/project/pages/index.md) documentation for a complete example of deploying a static site. | | Java with Spring Boot | [Deploy a Spring Boot application to Cloud Foundry with GitLab CI/CD](deploy_spring_boot_to_cloud_foundry/index.md). | | Java with Maven | [How to deploy Maven projects to Artifactory with GitLab CI/CD](artifactory_and_gitlab/index.md). | | PHP with PHPunit, atoum | [Testing PHP projects](php.md). | | PHP with NPM, SCP | [Running Composer and NPM scripts with deployment via SCP in GitLab CI/CD](deployment/composer-npm-deploy.md). | | PHP with Laravel, Envoy | [Test and deploy Laravel applications with GitLab CI/CD and Envoy](laravel_with_gitlab_and_envoy/index.md). | | Python on Heroku | [Test and deploy a Python application with GitLab CI/CD](test-and-deploy-python-application-to-heroku.md). | | Ruby on Heroku | [Test and deploy a Ruby application with GitLab CI/CD](test-and-deploy-ruby-application-to-heroku.md). | | Scala on Heroku | [Test and deploy a Scala application to Heroku](test-scala-application.md). | | Parallel testing Ruby & JS | [GitLab CI parallel jobs testing for Ruby & JavaScript projects](https://docs.knapsackpro.com/2019/how-to-run-parallel-jobs-for-rspec-tests-on-gitlab-ci-pipeline-and-speed-up-ruby-javascript-testing). | ### Contributing examples Contributions are welcome! You can help your favorite programming language users and GitLab by sending a merge request with a guide for that language. You may want to apply for the [GitLab Community Writers Program](https://about.gitlab.com/community/writers/) to get paid for writing complete articles for GitLab. ## Adding templates to your GitLab installation **(PREMIUM ONLY)** If you want to have customized examples and templates for your own self-managed GitLab instance available to your team, your GitLab administrator can [designate an instance template repository](../../user/admin_area/settings/instance_template_repository.md) that contains examples and templates specific to your enterprise. ## Other resources This section provides further resources to help you get familiar with various uses of GitLab CI/CD. Note that older articles and videos may not reflect the state of the latest GitLab release. ### CI/CD in the cloud For examples of setting up GitLab CI/CD for cloud-based environments, see: - [How to set up multi-account AWS SAM deployments with GitLab CI](https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/04/multi-account-aws-sam-deployments-with-gitlab-ci/) - [Automating Kubernetes Deployments with GitLab CI/CD](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEDRfAz6_Uw) - [How to autoscale continuous deployment with GitLab Runner on DigitalOcean](https://about.gitlab.com/2018/06/19/autoscale-continuous-deployment-gitlab-runner-digital-ocean/) - [How to create a CI/CD pipeline with Auto Deploy to Kubernetes using GitLab and Helm](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/09/21/how-to-create-ci-cd-pipeline-with-autodeploy-to-kubernetes-using-gitlab-and-helm/) - [Demo - Deploying from GitLab to OpenShift Container Cluster](https://youtu.be/EwbhA53Jpp4) See also the following video overviews: - [Containers, Schedulers, and GitLab CI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-9awBxEbvQ). - [Deploying to IBM Cloud with GitLab CI/CD](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZF4vgKMd-g). ### Customer stories For some customer experiences with GitLab CI/CD, see: - [How Verizon Connect reduced datacenter deploys from 30 days to under 8 hours with GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/14/verizon-customer-story/) - [How Wag!
