CI/CD Pipeline
CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines are automated processes in software development that help integrate code changes into a single codebase and continuously build, test, and deploy software applications.
Continuous Integration (CI) involves automatically building and testing code changes whenever a new code change is pushed to the codebase. This helps catch bugs and other issues early in the development process and ensure that the codebase remains in a stable state.
Continuous Deployment (CD) involves automatically deploying code changes to production whenever the code changes pass the build and test phases. This helps reduce the time and effort required to deploy code changes and ensures that changes are quickly made available to end-users.
CI/CD pipelines typically involve several stages, including code analysis, building, testing, and deployment. They are designed to be fast, reliable, and repeatable, and are critical for ensuring the quality and stability of modern software applications.
