CI/CD pipeline
CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous deployment (or continuous delivery). It is a set of practices and tools that are used in software development to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying software changes. CI is where the developer does frequent code merges to the central repository rather than waiting long periods before merging their code. This approach helps them identify integration issues early on and ensures that the code base is always in a functional state.
Continuous deployment (or continuous delivery) extends the concept of CI by automating the process of deploying software changes to production environments. The goal is to have a reliable and automated pipeline that takes code changes from the repository, builds it, tests it, and deploys it to the production environments without manual intervention.
The CI/CD process typically involves the following steps:
- Code integration: Developers commit their changes...
