Bede Deep Dive: GitHub Actions

Published 28 August 2024

Hello and welcome to the award-aware Dev Digest Deep Dive, which is a thing we’ll be doing to keep everyone updated on funky and interesting engineering happenings within Bede, and maybe show off some cool stuff along the way.

 

I’m Andrew Cameron and I’m your – shall we say “host”? We shall not.

 

This edition covers Bede’s recent build process migration to GitHub Actions, which is no small feat when we trail about 80 microservices behind us! (please keep reading, it’s better than it sounds)

 

We pop into some tasty tech details about troubleshooting tips, I go for a world record never previously attempted and my face is even in it, so give that a watch if you have the stomach.

 

  • Can’t find logs in the GitHub Actions UI? 
  • SQL Server integration tests failing? 
  • Getting the Test Host Crashed failure?
  • Want to see what’s happening in the GitHub Actions worker?

 

Don’t fret, we’ve covered all this and more… 

No expense has been spared incurred creating this inaugural issue, so please enjoy the video and underneath you’ll find the real content you came here for, our yummy set of GitHub Actions gotchas.

Well, I’d best be getting going now, the traffic’s a nightmare. Until next {occurrence of thing}, stay safe and hang somewhat loose. Not that I can check, so you’re off the hook.
