Newbie CI / CD recommendations

[flowt-au]

Hi. I am still learning Quarkus / Java. I have manually built and deployed my prototype app from my laptop -> GitHub -> Digital Ocean docker and all works. Of course for a production ready result I will need an automated process, about which I know very little.

I came across SonarQube and that looks like a great addition to my CI/CD pipeline if for nothing else than to improve my newbie code and make sure my test code-coverage is adequate. I have never set up a CI/CD pipeline.

So, I was wondering if anyone had a suggested CI/CD pipeline for deploying Quarkus apps? I don't necessarily mean detailed instructions, just which products people have found useful in this context. eg GitHub actions or Jenkins or both or neither, etc? From my reading it seems there are many possible options.

I can then study those components to implement but I don't know what I don't know, and what is contemporary best-practice and what is now "old school".

Thanks,
Murray
