Build your first service

This tutorial ties the basics together. By the end you will have a service that was scaffolded from a golden path, passed its security gates, and deployed to a target, with a scorecard tracking its health. Plan for about fifteen minutes during a guided evaluation.

Before you start

You need a tenant. If you do not have one yet, follow the Quickstart through signing in, then come back here.

1. Connect a tool

Open Connectors and connect your source control. Its credential is sealed in the secrets store, scoped to the connector. This is the tool your new service will live in. See Connect a tool for the detail.

2. Scaffold from a golden path

From the Catalog, create a new service and pick a golden path. Give it a name and an owner, and choose where it should deploy. When you submit, IntegraCI creates the repository, wires the pipeline to your CI and scanners, and registers the service in the catalog. See Create a service.

3. Run the pipeline

Trigger the pipeline. Your build runners build, your scanners run as steps, and a policy gate reads the results. If the gate passes, the change is clear to ship; if not, it stops with a reason. See Security gates.

4. Deploy it

With the gates green, deploy to your target. The desired state is version-controlled, so the deploy is reviewable and reversible. See Deploy a service.

5. Read the scorecard

Open the service in the catalog and look at its scorecard. It is the running read on security, delivery, and ownership that the platform uses to tell whether the service is in good shape.

What you just did

You went from a connected tool to a governed, deployed, scored service, and every step left a record in the audit trail. That same loop is how teams ship day to day on IntegraCI. From here, explore the pillar sections in the sidebar for the depth behind each step.
