Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) automates the path from code commit to production release.
A typical pipeline includes: code linting, unit tests, build, integration tests, staging deployment, and production rollout with rollback capability. Tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and GitLab CI integrate seamlessly with modern code repositories.
Teams with mature CI/CD practices deploy 200x more frequently and recover from incidents 24x faster than low-performing teams. Start small — automate testing first, then deployment.
