This topic describes the definition, core advantages, and common scenarios of the Cloud Build service.
What is Cloud Build
Cloud Build uses pipelines to compile and build multi-platform applications. It supports features such as package signing and platform-hosted certificates. This improves development efficiency and standardizes development processes.
Core advantages
Accelerate business value delivery
Cloud Build uses platform tools and collaborative mechanisms to improve efficiency and accelerate business value delivery.
Easy integration
Cloud Build uses an open architecture, plugin-based management, and customizable workflows. This architecture supports the integration of various development components, allowing Cloud Build to be integrated with existing tools.
Lower IT costs
Cloud Build is a fully managed cloud computing service for commercial-grade product development. It offers high availability (HA) and high stability.
Scenarios
Improve development efficiency and shorten delivery cycles
Cloud Build lets you increase the frequency of client releases from monthly to weekly, or even on-demand.
Ensure release quality
Cloud Build integrates with automated testing processes to ensure the quality of production client versions.
Customize development processes
You can use the pipeline task orchestration feature in Cloud Build to define custom application development processes.
Integrate with EMAS
Cloud Build lets you register your own plugins, such as custom scripts and callback services, in the EMAS Plugin Center and integrate them into a pipeline. During the application development process (development, testing, grayscale release, and publishing), these plugins run in series with existing EMAS capabilities.
Limits
Each account is limited to three concurrent pipeline instances. Additional instances are placed in a queue.
