Summary

Organizations seeking rapid application development are increasingly adopting cloud-native containers across multiple cloud providers to avoid vendor lock-in and scale infrastructure efficiently. In a presentation at swampUP 2021, Google Cloud experts discussed best practices for building a hybrid multi-cloud DevOps CI/CD solution, using a web storefront application as a case study. This application employs a microservices architecture to allow independent updates and iterations, exemplified by the quick update of a CITY BIKE product in response to demand. The architecture integrates Cloud Run for Anthos, the JFrog DevOps Platform, and GitHub, offering a consistent development environment that supports CI/CD workflows across different cloud platforms. JFrog Artifactory serves as a repository for binaries, artifacts, and dependencies, providing a "source of truth" for development teams and ensuring that software components are up-to-date and secure. The CI/CD process is automated to quickly propagate updates to production environments, demonstrated by the seamless integration and deployment of new features like the CITY BIKE image update, ensuring efficient and secure software delivery in a multi-cloud setting.
