These partners should be able to use AL-Go for GitHub as their DevOps solution without the need to hire a DevOps engineer.

Feature Details

AL-Go is a collection of GitHub templates and actions that turn professional DevOps processes for Business Central AL projects into a commodity for our partners. The initial release of AL-Go has been a success with the partner community, with 500-plus repositories created over the first three months, offering an easy path to continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), quality assurance, change and performance tracking, code consistency, collaboration, managing updates, and more.

With this release Microsoft will extend AL-Go with further capabilities:

• Analyze code coverage when running automated tests.
• Verify compatibility with the upcoming releases of Business Central and third-party dependencies (AppSource apps).
• Support Azure-hosted Docker development environments (as an alternative to running Docker locally), to improve developer productivity, when working with the online sandbox environments is not an option. (Online sandboxes are a scarce resource and development tasks often require more powerful hardware.)
