Google Cloud Build
Continuously build, test, and deploy.
Overview
Cloud Build is a service that executes your builds on Google Cloud Platform's infrastructure. Cloud Build can import source code from Google Cloud Storage, Cloud Source Repositories, GitHub, or Bitbucket, execute a build to your specifications, and produce artifacts such as Docker containers or Java archives. You can write a build config to instruct Cloud Build to fetch dependencies, run unit tests, static analyses, and integration tests, and create artifacts with build tools such as docker, gradle, maven, bazel, and gulp.
