Summary

The CI/CD pipeline is central to all cloud-native applications and Google Cloud offers all of the tools required to build and maintain a powerful CI/CD pipeline directly in its ecosystem. The CI/CD pipeline significantly streamlines your development process throughout the application's life cycle by integrating various workflows associated with writing and debugging the code, executing the code on the multiple available environments, as well as monitoring and updating the application.

Now that you are aware of the key components that make up the CI/CD pipeline in all Google Cloud apps, we can move on to the third chapter of the first part of this book, where we will learn about the cloud-native design patterns, making it significantly easier for you to spot problems and implement solutions.
