From Jenkins to a Modern Cloud CI: A Story About Scaling Builds

Let’s kick the summer season off with a live DevOps meetup! Come to Outfit7’s Fun Room for an interesting talk, followed by pizza and beer.

About the Presentation:
Matic Miklavčič, DevOps Engineer at Outfit7, will give a talk about the company’s experience of migrating from Jenkins to CircleCI.

In his own words:
The way Outfit7 builds a new game has changed a lot over the past few years, as we’ve moved from the slow and unreliable Jenkins infrastructure, to the fast and GitOps-enabled CI.
In this talk, we will discuss how Outfit7 handles the builds and how we managed the migration to CircleCI. We’ll also touch on the differences between on-prem Jenkins vs. a managed build system, and the importance of environment isolation and containerized build environments. Last but not least, we'll share how we approached more advanced challenges, like our own hybrid build system, which we had to make on our own in order to build specific games where the build environment cannot be Dockerized.
