DevOps practice is when software code changes made by developers are merged into a release branch of a central repository. Developers must be encouraged to commit their code regularly. This ensures fewer integration issues since smaller code commits are more straightforward when resolving bugs and conflicts. Code changes must also be unit-tested before being pushed into the central repository.
Examples of repositories include AWS CodeCommit, GitHub, or Bitbucket. Once a developer commits changes to the application code and pushes them to a branch in the central repository, an automated build and test process should be initiated. This process creates one or more binaries and associated artifacts. Any necessary unit tests can also be incorporated at this stage, as...
