TeamCity is a continuous integration server that allows users to build projects and subprojects with configurable build configurations. It supports various technologies and offers functionality like custom triggers, dependencies, and agent assignments. Although it has a learning curve, the flexibility and options available make it a powerful tool for managing diverse build pipelines.

2. Again we start by
building the
pipeline in
TeamCity – which
is in Admin tab
We build “project”
which can have
subprojects.

3. A project can have
subprojects which in
turn can have “Build
Configurations”actual executors of
tasks
The project itself
can have build
configurations of
it’s own
www.vishalbiyani.com

4. Each “build configuration” item will have
options that can be configured like actual
task, triggers, dependencies, parameters
and eligible agents which can execute
that configuration

available OOTB- more
can be added by
installing plugins.

execute what can be
determined by checking

9. We already have
one agent installed
and enabled on
same machine for
demo

10. A pipeline for the
application
available on

Issues/Broken
pipelines can be
assigned to people
to be resolved

a stage of pipeline
visible right at top!

11. Details of a particular stage in
pipeline – here we can see the
build, change log, which agents
can work on this etc.

12. Ability to build
any kind of project
from Java to .NET to
Xcode is a awesome
feature of TeamCity

14. TeamCity - Concluding thoughts
• Build jobs have great flexibility and
many options – Excellent CI server
• Although CD actions are available –
semantics is basic
• The actions available OOTB and as
plugins are plenty
• You can build multitude of technologies
in one CI server
• Found a little tricky till you get hang of
it
