pipelines.md

1. Within this git repository, there is a file called pipelines.gocd.yaml. The full syntax capabilities of that file can be found in Tomasz Sętkowski's Go-CD Yaml Plugin Repo

2. The pipelines.gocd.yaml file is where all Lambda function CI/CD pipelines are defined. Each pipeline definition includes linting, unit testing, code coverage, dev deployments, test deployments, and production deployments.

3. Whenever you add a new Lambda function, it is not necessary to copy the entire pipeline defintion. Each pipeline definiton instance can use the first definition as a template using standard YAML Anchoring capabilities. For example, if you wanted to add a new Lambda function called smilesAndFun you would append the following contents at the same indentation of previous pipelines:

    smilesAndFun:
      group: lambda
      label_template: "${smilesAndFun[:8]}"
      environment_variables:
        FUNCTION_NAME: smilesAndFun
      materials:
        smilesAndFun:
          git: https://github.com/C0k3/session
          branch: development
          whitelist:
          - lambda_functions/smilesAndFun/**/*.*
          - lib/**.*
          - "*.js"
          - "*.json"
          - "*.opts"
          - "*.yml"
          - "*.yaml"
      stages: *stages
   

4. The new pipeline will be added to the Go-CD server when the updated pipelines.gocd.yaml file is pushed to the repository.
