Azure DevOps vs Github for AL CI/CD

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jdrco 481

I am trying to implement CI/CD for an AL extension from one of my organization's projects on Azure DevOps. It looks like the new way of implementing CI/CD is through AL-Go (stated here AL-Go/CI_CD_Workshop.md at main · microsoft/AL-Go (github.com)).

Is it recommended that I migrate everything to a github repository to implement CI/CD? I would prefer to stay with Azure DevOps since my team already has an Agile development cycle setup.

    Both platforms fully supports CI/CD pipelines for AL. Future Microsoft’s commitments will be on AL GO for Github.

    On Azure DevOps you’ve also third-party tools for easily managing AL pipelines.

    It is not mandatory to move to Github and there are many developers that use Azure Devops for AL development.

    But one aspect of that consideration is that Microsoft will focus on delivering tools for doing CI/CD in Github for AL.

    You will not get any tools from Microsoft anymore for AL development i Azure Devops then you will have to build those yourself or use a 3. party solution available in Azure Devops. Al ops is one of those alternatives.

    So you can still use DevOps if you prefer that, and i know many does. But Microsoft is putting their effort around AL in GitHub.

    There are really pro and cons for both options.

    We have development environment also setup in azure devops.
     
    Its quite sad that i cannot find any simple working pipeline that would just build app file from the git source and publish it as artefact.
     
    Anybody has any link to something that is working? i would really like to do our deployment clean not that devs build the app package in vs code and publish it this way.
