GSoC This was an excellent learning experience for me. By the end of these 3 months, I can surely call myself a better developer than what I was 3 months back. I had been trying to contribute to an open-source project since long, and finally GSoC gave me the opportunity in the best possible way. At times I committed mistakes but my mentors were always helpful and supportive. I learnt things in the journey and that is what GSoC is all about.

CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins Jenkins is a CI/CD automation tools used to build continuous integration pipelines. The first task for my gsoc project was to implement a CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins for CloudCV/Origami, I have been working on it for the last couple of days and I have managed to get the background work done. This blog post is sort of a guide for how to set up a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and what are the gotchas in it.

Docker This post is more of an introduction to Docker thing, it is just a high level overview of what docker actually is and how the environment runs. Docker is a great tool which reduces complexity and provides flexibility in shipping an application.
