The pages surrounding a lot of the CI/CD components have good reference documentation. This is great for senior engineering staff who understands the usage patters. However, as we try and socialize this, we've found that their is a lack of "Stories" around CI/CD. Specifically environments and the usage around them. Can we ask you to write some documentation that shows code / compiled artifacts being deployed to different environments. For example, some code being pushed to a development if in some branches and a production environment if pushed to master or a protected branch.
What would be fantastic for our users is an example that shows them how to do these two scenarios:
They have code. The code gets built with something (maven, .net, python, doesn't really matter). Then the product of the build gets moved to a development server and tested. After testing looks good, it the code gets merged into master and then it gets moved to multiple production servers. Examples should show environments and secrets in gitlab being used.
Right now all the puzzle peaces are documented out, but the whole picture isn't show, it's all just reference docs. If you remember microsoft's old "Contoso" fake org, showing how a fake employee would do or set up a task. That would be awesome.
