Jenkins CI/CD Environment Setup for CartForge Commerce

Business Scenario

At CartForge, with the cloud infrastructure now secured through VPC, subnets, and route tables, the platform was ready for the next major step—automation.

The manager discovered a growing challenge:
Manual deployment processes were slow, repetitive, and increased the risk of errors, making future updates inefficient for the development team.

He assigned the responsibility to the junior DevOps engineer.

After evaluating the workflow, the DevOps engineer proposed the best solution:
Set up a robust Jenkins CI/CD environment to automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for the CartForge Commerce application.

The DevOps engineer then explained the strategy to the team:
By implementing Jenkins automation, CartForge could achieve faster deployments, continuous integration, reduced manual effort, improved delivery consistency, and a scalable DevOps workflow for long-term growth.

Pre-Lab Preparation

In this lab, you will build a basic CI/CD environment for the CartForge application using Jenkins.

You will:

  • Understand how automated pipelines work using a real-world case study

  • Set up a Jenkins server

  • Configure a pipeline for CartForge

  • Execute an automated build

By the end of this lab, you will have a working CI/CD setup that automates basic tasks.

Task 1: Setup Jenkins Server

1

Connect to Your Server

ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@your-ip

Update System

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Java

sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk -y

Verify Java

java -version

Install Jenkins

curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io-2023.key | sudo tee \
/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \
https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt install jenkins -y

Start Jenkins

sudo systemctl start jenkins
sudo systemctl enable jenkins

Check Status

sudo systemctl status jenkins

Task 1: Understanding BRD

Before you start building anything, you need to clearly understand what the client actually wants.So, let’s begin by understanding the BRD (Business Requirement Document) shared by the client.

BRD Full Form is Business Requirement Details.BRD like a plan for building a house. This plan helps the builder understand what to build.In the same way,BRD tells developers what the client wants to build

Click to download BRD : BiteBox_BRD.pdf

Activity

After going through BRD list down the Core Features and  Web Pages in the tabulated Format as shown Below.

Col 1Col 2Col 3
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3

Formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Task 2: Create WireFrame

Now that you understand the requirements, don’t jump into coding yet. Before development, we always visualize the layout.

Now lets  create a simple wireframe for the homepage.

A wireframe is like a layout plan of a house. Before building, you decide where rooms, doors, and windows will be placed.Similarly, a wireframe helps you plan where elements like headers, images, and buttons will appear on a webpage—before adding design or colours.

Task 3: Code Editor Installation

Good work on completing the planning phase.

Now we will start development. Before that, make sure your system is ready with the required tools.

In this step we will install the VS code editor that will help to Write code efficiently,Organize files , Run and test your application

Go to the visual studio code official website

        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}

        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}
