New content management Connect server APIs are easy to integrate with programmatic deployment workflows.<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you heard<\/a>!? RStudio Connect 1.7.0 has support for\u00a0programmatic deployment<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0RStudio Connect Server API<\/a>. These new APIs let your deployment engineers craft custom deployment workflows like these:<\/p>\n

This article demonstrates programmatic deployment of a Shiny application with GitHub webhooks and a Jenkins Freestyle project.<\/p>\n

What are we trying to\u00a0build?<\/h3>\n

I have a data product (in this case a shiny application) deployed to my RStudio Connect server. I also have a GitHub repository for the application where I\u2019ve version controlled the app code. I want to link and automate the application update process with my GitHub workflow, i.e. every time I push a code change to GitHub, I\u2019d like the deployed application on Connect to automatically be updated with those changes.<\/p>\n

This workflow assumes that the content has already been deployed to my Connect Server at least once. The initial deployment could be achieved programmatically or through traditional\u00a0IDE push-button \/ rsconnect deployment<\/a>\u00a0methods. The content management API for RStudio Connect can be leveraged to perform the initial bundle upload programmatically.<\/p>\n
