Extending the Reach of CI/CD Pipelines
In this chapter, we aim to extend the reach of CI/CD pipelines into common automation use cases. By the end of this chapter, you should have an idea of what’s possible with CI/CD pipelines. You’ll see that they are not necessarily just for build and deployment tasks, but also automation tasks, which make the job of an engineer easier, repeatable, and more reliable. CI/CD pipelines are always meant to ease the burden of work on an engineer so that they can focus on more novel and important tasks.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Using CI/CD pipelines to spot performance problems
- Integrating third-party tools into your CI/CD pipelines
- Using CI/CD pipelines for developing mobile apps
