MONITOR CI CD BUILD STATUS WITH OCAML LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Ocaml Use Cases

Monitor your CI/CD build status for your OCaml application

In the realm of software development, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) stand as pivotal concepts, regularly employed to ensure the perpetual functionality of your Ocaml software. CI/CD constitutes a software development methodology in which developers consistently integrate code into a shared repository and subsequently deliver this code to end-users. This approach ensures that the software remains operational, granting users access to the latest version.

When implementing CI/CD for your Ocaml application, it becomes imperative to oversee the build status vigilantly to confirm the ongoing functionality of the latest application version. This proactive monitoring strategy ensures that you remain informed about the application's status and are ready to take immediate action, if necessary. For instance, if the build status registers as unsuccessful, you can swiftly address the issue and guarantee the perpetual operation of the most recent application version.

Enter Palzin Track, a potent real-time event tracking tool that serves as an ideal solution for monitoring your Ocaml application's build status. Integrating Palzin Track directly into your CI/CD pipeline, whether through platforms like Github Actions or within the Ocaml application itself, empowers you to monitor your application's build status in real time. Additionally, you have the option to establish rules for notifications, keeping you and your team promptly informed of any changes in the application's build status.

Furthermore, Palzin Track offers the ability to track the history of your CI/CD build status over time and create a timeline of events for each build. This feature allows you to consistently review your application's build history and take necessary actions when required. Connect Palzin Track to OCaml

Using OCaml with Cohttp


open Lwt  


open Cohttp  


open Cohttp_lwt_unix  


let postData = ref "{\"project\":\"my-project\",\"channel\":\"ci-cd\",\"event\":\"Successful Deploy\",\"description\":\"Project was successfully deployed to production\",\"icon\":\"🚢\",\"notify\":true}";;  


let reqBody =   


 let uri = Uri.of_string "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log" in  


 let headers = Header.init ()  


 |> fun h -> Header.add h "Content-Type" "application/json"  


 |> fun h -> Header.add h "Authorization" "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"  


 in  


 let body = Cohttp_lwt.Body.of_string !postData in  


 Client.call ~headers ~body `POST uri >>= fun (_resp, body) ->  


 body |> Cohttp_lwt.Body.to_string >|= fun body -> body  


let () =  


 let respBody = Lwt_main.run reqBody in  


 print_endline (respBody)
