Wonderful! Miaoying technology fully implements Zadig to help container construction, and fully embraces kubernetes and Yunyuan

Miaoying technology (

MioTech

)  Is a  ESG  Financial technology enterprises in the field , Serve many large financial institutions at home and abroad . Miaoying's infrastructure team has been committed to technology change in the field of continuous delivery , Provide developers with a more convenient and efficient basic platform , Improve R & D Efficiency , Support the rapid development of business .

Pain analysis

In the introduction of  Zadig  Before the project , We're going to use  GitLab  Of  CI  Plus self-developed  CD  System to realize the whole deployment process . Although it can work normally , However, it is inconvenient to use and maintain ：

• Development and operation and maintenance personnel need to be familiar with  GitLab CI  Of  YAML  Configuration language , There is a certain learning cost .

• modify  .gitlab-ci.yml  Need to shuttle through multiple project warehouses , Inconvenient for unified maintenance .

• Runner  stay  GitLab  outside , Separate configuration management is required .

• CI  and  CD  The process of is not in the same system , The sense of experience is split .

• And  GitLab  Tightly coupled , Cannot support other code hosting platforms .

The way of model selection

With the above pain points , And standing in today's booming cloud native field , The idea of looking for a better solution for the experience is becoming stronger and stronger .

Because we have adopted  KubeSphere  As  Kubernetes  Management plan of the project , Therefore, the requirements for cluster management are not high , The emphasis is on getting through the R & D process and getting started with the easy-to-use experience . There are two paths to choose from ：

• Use  DevOps  One stop solution service . Currently in this field , Many domestic companies have entered the site . There are many products of Internet giants , For example, Alibaba cloud cloud effect 、 Tencent cloud  CODING, And professional work  DevOps  The company , for example  JFrog  etc. .

• Looking for a full hug  Kubernetes  And cloud native open source projects .

Considering the size of the team 、 Technology reserve and the company's open and innovative development concept , We chose the second path to open source .

Even if we focus on open source ,DevOps  Up to now , Open source  CI/CD  There are quite a lot of product categories . There are many CI  Old brand power  Jenkins、CD  Strong enemy  Spinnaker.CNCF  Incubation projects  Argo,Flux; And things like  Jenkins X,Tekton  Products like that .

Each of these open source projects has its own advantages and disadvantages , Some have powerful functions but complex settings , It's hard to get started . Some of them are fairly easy to use, but their functions do not meet the requirements after investigation . A coincidence , In last year's excellent Chinese open source original start-ups  KodeRover  Start up enterprises and their main promotion  Zadig  project , In the horizontal comparison of the official website, it shows " Extraordinary ” The ability of , So I decided to try it first , See if it's worthy of the name .

The first impression after a simple trial is ：

Better than expected

. Simple deployment , Easy to use , And a platform solves the problem of building 、 Deploy 、 test 、 Product management 、 Timing schedule 、webhook、 Notification and other functions , It can really meet our needs .

After learning more , Find out  Zadig  The emphasis is more inclined to

The R & D process is open

, The key groups are business development and test engineers , It is very consistent with our positioning of the platform . also  

Zadig  Development based on cloud native concept

, as well as

Yes Kubernetes  Full support

, also

It is highly consistent with Miaoying's comprehensive container infrastructure construction concept

.  Based on all of the above , And Zadig  It's fate .

Landing plan

because  Zadig  Support  EKS/ACK/GKE  And so on , Easy to deploy , So the landing part is actually very smooth . Our deployment approach is based on  Kubernetes, use  Helm  One button in  EKS  Upper Department .

Finally, a separate cluster deployment is used , And manage the development at the same time / Produce two sets  K8s  colony . Consider reserving resources to perform the build task . At the same time, it can cooperate with  autoscaler  Use , Increasing cluster flexibility also maximizes cost savings .

Zadig  And support

Multiple unified authentication methods

, Facilitate docking with enterprises  SSO. We have also successfully docked  OAuth  Unified certification , User management is more convenient .

The results are beginning to show

After a brief attempt , We started online development 、 Migration and transformation of production environment . Up to now , The  80%  Deployment project for 、50%  The build project for moved to  Zadig  platform , The test project is also in the process of gradually testing and launching .

The overall feeling is as follows ：

• Build easy to use

stay  Dockerfile  When the construction is complete , Just write a simple build script to use , It's easy to use . It can also be connected  GitLab webhook, Realize automatic triggering .

• Easy to deploy

Means of deployment through deliverables , Just mirror  Tag  Select a version from the list to deploy manually , Or through automatic synchronization  Chart  Warehouse functions , Realization  GitOps  scene .

• The test is easy to use

Independent test center design , Shielded  Kubernetes  Concept , The test engineer doesn't have to care  Kubernetes  The underlying logic of , You can easily use cluster container resources to run tests by writing your own familiar test scripts  Case, It reduces the mental burden of testers . After debugging, you can also realize test automation in the workflow .

One sentence summary ：Zadig  hold

Complexity sinks to the tool side

, It facilitates the use of business development and testing , Let people of different majors focus their abilities on their professional fields .

Open source co construction

In the eyes of Miaoying infrastructure team , Open source is not pure ” si “. Problems in accepting open source products , And pass the test 、 feedback 、 communicate , To finally be able to submit  PR  Giving back to the community is the right way to open source .

Zadig  Using the cloud native domain “ Standard configuration ” Golang  Language development , It perfectly matches the technology stack of Miaoying infrastructure team , It also makes us accelerate the pace of giving back to the community .

Open source co construction is not only to promote good ecological construction in the open source field , It is also a cross regional and cross company exchange of engineers' skills

, And from once  PR  The satisfaction of a small sense of achievement after being adopted .

Thanks to the  Zadig  Clear architecture design （ Please refer to the architecture diagram of the official website ）, At present, our  PR  The project is going well , Already planned  3  Problems and small function improvements encountered in the actual landing process , Prepare to submit  PR  in . I believe there will be more in the future .

Suggest looking forward to

Finally, some suggestions , Just for personal point of view ：

• at present  Zadig  The better testing framework supported is  Junit, It is also hoped that more test frameworks can be connected in the future , Or in a similar way Kubernetes CxI  It is convenient for more test frameworks to access , The test results can be directly displayed in  Zadig  One stop show .

• The improvement of efficiency insight and visualization ability .

• DevSecOps  Capacity building in the field .
