CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment
Aimed to streamline and accelerate the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) to ensure faster and more reliable delivery of applications.
Importance of CI/CD β οΈ
CI/CD helps decreasing complexity, increase efficiency and streamlining workflows. CI/CD enables teams to:
- Release code faster, while ensuring the quality of the applications. β°
- Automate repetitive tasks, such as testing, building, and deployment. β
- Reducing human errors and human intervention. π€
- Decrease Complexity. π§
- Increase customer satisfaction through faster feedback loop and frequent update. π₯³
CI - continuous integration
CI is a Practice of :
- Integrating all your code changes into main branch early and often
- Running automated builds and tests (e.g., unit tests, linting, static analysis) on every commit or pull request.
Benefits of CI:
- Early detection of bug, security issue, and integration conflicts π
- Minimizing code integration conflict, by merging frequently π₯
- Faster issues identification π¨
- Verify code changes β
CD - Continuous Delivery/Deployment
CD can mean two things:
- Continuous Delivery
- Continuous Deployment
Continuous Delivery
- Ensure that code is in Deployable state β
- Automate Builds and Tests (e.g., unit tests, integration test) π€
Continuous Deployment
- Automates release/deployment of application to production π€
- Reduce manual process by operations π
- Faster app delivery β°
Summary
CI/CD pipeline can streamline the creation, testing, and deployment of applications.
Improving quality and speeds up the delivery.
