Pipeline Flow is an enterprise-grade CI/CD tool that automates your entire software delivery workflow—from code commit to production—covering builds, integration, validation, and deployment.
Scenarios
Continuous integration
Pipeline Flow compiles and builds projects in major languages and frameworks—Java, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go—supporting a wide range of continuous integration scenarios.
Continuous deployment
Deploy to virtual hosts, Kubernetes, and other targets using canary releases and phased rolling updates to ensure stable service delivery.
Automate the entire release process from staging to production.
Continuous testing
Pipeline Flow provides built-in code scanning, security scanning, and automated testing. It supports multiple quality gates—including manual approval gates and automated validation checks—to maintain delivery quality.
Enterprise-grade collaboration and management
Process visualization: Orchestrate pipeline stages in a graphical interface and monitor execution status in real time, keeping the delivery process transparent and controllable.
Granular permission management: Control member access to pipelines and environment resources based on your organization's structure to secure the delivery process.
Instant feedback: Push real-time build results and approval notifications through DingTalk, email, and internal messages to improve team response time.
Advantages of Pipeline Flow
-
Out-of-the-box and fully managed
Quick setup: Get a CI/CD pipeline running in a few steps—no complex configuration required.
Managed environment: Use a pre-configured build environment without maintaining resources for self-built tools.
-
Comprehensive support for mainstream technology stacks
Multiple languages and toolchains: Supports Java, Python, Node.js, and more. Compatible with various build tools and produces artifacts such as JAR files and Docker images.
-
Flexible deployment:
Multicloud deployment: Deploy to Alibaba Cloud, other public clouds, and private environments across compute resources such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK), and Serverless App Engine (SAE)/Function Compute (FC).
Quality control: Integrate code scanning, unit testing, and automated testing tools to enforce development quality.
-
Visual orchestration and easy adoption
Graphical orchestration: Drag and drop components to build your pipeline. Define build, test, and deployment stages without writing code.
Rich template library: Choose from dozens of built-in templates for common pipelines and generate a standardized pipeline in one click.
-
Deep integration with the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem and open extensibility
One-stop DevOps platform: Works with Apsara Devops Codeup, Apsara Devops Package, , connecting the entire workflow from requirements to development and deployment.
Enterprise-grade extensibility: Supports custom scripts, manual approval gates, and real-time notifications via DingTalk or email for flexible adaptation to complex requirements.
