Click-free releases & the making of a CLI app
At TravelPerk, we've developed a tool that fully automates our release process, eliminating the need for human intervention. This was achieved using a lightweight Kotlin CLI app. In this talk, we'll provide an in-depth look at the design and implementation of this tool, and guide you through building your own Kotlin CLI app. Join me to explore the power of Kotlin and Gradle in creating robust, automated solutions.
