In this tutorial, you'll learn about Versioning CI CD. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.
CI/CD pipeline versioning automates the detection of API changes, enforces compatibility checks before deployment, and generates version artifacts automatically.
| Stage | Action |
|---|---|
| Build | Generate OpenAPI spec |
| Test | Diff against previous version |
| Gate | Block breaking changes without major version |
| Release | Auto-increment version |
| Deploy | Route traffic to new version |
class PipelineVersionGate:
def __init__(self, current_version: str):
self.current = current_version
def check_change(self, old_spec: str, new_spec: str) -> Dict:
import hashlib
old_hash = hashlib.md5(old_spec.encode()).hexdigest()
new_hash = hashlib.md5(new_spec.encode()).hexdigest()
if old_hash == new_hash:
return {"action": "skip", "reason": "No changes"}
if self._detects_breaking(old_spec, new_spec):
return {"action": "block", "reason": "Breaking change detected. Requires major version bump."}
return {"action": "allow", "reason": "Non-breaking changes"}
def _detects_breaking(self, old: str, new: str) -> bool:
return "breaking" in new
gate = PipelineVersionGate("v1")
result = gate.check_change("{}", '{"breaking": true}')
print(f"Gate result: {result}")
