In the software development landscape, balancing continuous integration with quality assurance poses a significant challenge, which ttl.sh and Gitness aim to address by creating temporary CI environments that expedite development processes. Ttl.sh is an ephemeral Docker image registry that enables temporary image tagging with built-in expiry, while Gitness, an open-source platform by Harness, simplifies the management of source code repositories and development pipelines. By leveraging these tools, developers can establish a workflow where the creation of a pull request triggers a build in Gitness, leading to Docker image creation, automated testing, and image promotion upon successful testing. This approach ensures only quality-assured images reach the central registry, reducing clutter and promoting a cleaner CI process. Additionally, the use of short-lived images and UUIDs mitigates security risks, although deploying a private version of ttl.sh might be advisable for production environments. Ultimately, integrating ttl.sh and Gitness streamlines the build and test process, avoiding outdated images and maintaining an efficient development workflow, promoting more frequent and reliable software delivery.
