Summary
CI/CD is not just about delivering the “best” version but ensuring that the software delivery process is efficient, consistent, and reliable. It’s about integrating continuously and deploying (or delivering) continuously.
It has a variety of benefits, as follows:
- Faster release cycle: New features and fixes can be delivered to users more quickly
- Improved quality and reliability: Automated testing reduces human error, ensuring that code is of high quality before it reaches users
- Enhanced productivity: Automating repetitive processes means developers can focus on writing code
- Rapid feedback: If there’s an issue, developers find out immediately and can address it quickly
By automating the CI/CD pipeline, teams can ensure consistency and quality, release features more rapidly, address issues promptly, and reduce manual, error-prone tasks.
