CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment) pipelines automate the process of building, testing, and releasing code — enabling faster and more reliable software delivery.
CI/CD combines two crucial DevOps practices. Continuous Integration ensures every code change is automatically tested and merged, while Continuous Delivery automates releasing it to staging or production. Tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI help streamline these processes.
CI/CD pipelines reduce human error, catch bugs early, and support modern development workflows. They’re essential for teams deploying frequently, scaling agile practices, or maintaining cloud-native applications.
