A brief introduction to CI/CD pipelines and webhooks
CI/CD pipelines come in many forms. A few examples are GitHub Actions, GitLab Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines, and Azure Pipelines.

Refer to the documentation on the Git server that is being used on how to create pipelines specific to that technology. While the actual code implementation will be the same, there can be some key differences. This chapter will go into some detail on GitHub and GitLab implementations.
A webhook is used when an event is set to trigger to reach out to one of the AAP services...
