Cloud CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Erik Reinert is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in several fields of software development. Starting in frontend before backend and fullstack then moving focus to organizational problem solving in DevOps & Infrastructure. With the passion of finding the best solution for any problem through collaboration and documentation.

Cloud CI/CD with GitHub Actions

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build a complete CI pipeline from scratch though patterns that apply to any language. You’ll progress from your very first workflow through matrix builds, caching, composite actions, reusable workflows, and OIDC-based cloud authorization. Along the way, you’ll learn how to debug, harden, and scale your automation. By the end, you’ll have the confidence to design production-ready GitHub Actions workflows for any project.

What You Will Master

The Senior Engineer Toolkit
  • Master the core building blocks of GitHub Actions โ€” events, workflows, jobs, steps, and runners โ€” so you can read and write any pipeline with confidence
  • Build scalable CI pipelines with matrix builds, caching, composite actions, and reusable workflows that stay maintainable as your projects grow
  • Secure your automation with OIDC-based cloud authorization, scoped secrets, environment protection rules, and supply-chain hardening

Prerequisites

  • Basic experience with Git and GitHub (cloning, committing, pull requests)
  • Comfort working in the command line

Who is this for?

This workshop is for software developers and DevOps engineers who want to automate their development workflows with GitHub Actions. It starts from the fundamentals and builds to advanced techniques, so no prior GitHub Actions experience is required โ€” just basic familiarity with Git and the command line.
