Automating Talend Cloud Job Build via GitLab CI/CD - R2026-2

ahbrajev — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 11:25:10 GMT

Hi Community,

We recently purchased a license for Talend Cloud Data Integration R2026-2 and are looking to automate our job build process by moving away from manual builds toward a GitLab CI/CD pipeline.

Currently, we build and deploy Talend jobs manually. We would like to understand:

What is the recommended approach to automate Talend job builds using GitLab CI?
Does Talend Cloud provide a CLI or API that can be triggered from a .gitlab-ci.yml pipeline?
Are there any official documentation, examples, or community guides for this kind of integration?
Any best practices to be aware of when setting up this automation?

Any guidance or real world experience would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hello

We get a template, but because i use the gitlab ci, approach of creating a cicd pipeline is different if you use your runners on premise or on gitlab containers.

By using on prem runners:

you need define 2 steps in your pipeline: generateAllPoms steps, and the second one is the deploiement step

By using gitlab containers:

Those containers are automatically deleted with their datas after each steps of the pipeline, hence, you need to merge bbth command to generate the poms and deploy on one step (and also license and settings.xml might be present on your git folder)

Using .gitlab-ci syntax :

i attached you templates (you need to modify, you can also create your own script ) to deploy on your gitlab folder
