CI/CD Pipelines & Automation

Continuous integration and continuous delivery automate the path from a commit to a tested, deployable, and deployed artifact. These guides cover building reliable pipelines — running tests and linting on every change, building and versioning artifacts, and deploying safely with strategies like blue-green and canary releases.

The emphasis is on fast, trustworthy feedback and safe releases: caching, parallelization, secrets handling, and gates that catch regressions before users do.

Frequently asked questions

What is CI/CD?

CI (continuous integration) automatically builds and tests every code change; CD (continuous delivery/deployment) automatically prepares and releases those changes to production. Together they make releases frequent, small, and low-risk.

What is the difference between continuous delivery and continuous deployment?

Continuous delivery keeps every change ready to release with a manual approval step before production; continuous deployment removes that step, automatically releasing every change that passes the pipeline.
