CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment)

CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment) is a set of practices in software development aimed at improving the speed, quality, and reliability of software releases: Here’s a simple breakdown: • Continuous Integration (CI): Imagine a team of developers all working on the same project. CI is like a system that helps them regularly merge their work into a central spot, like a shared workspace. Every time they do this, the system automatically checks to make sure nothing’s broken, helping everyone spot and fix problems early. • Continuous Delivery (CD): This is the next step after CI. Once the code is integrated and tested, CD makes sure it’s ready to be put into a staging environment, which is a sort of practice ground. It ensures that when the time comes to actually release it, everything’s set and there won’t be any last-minute surprises. • Continuous Deployment (also CD): This takes things even further by automatically releasing every change that’s passed all the tests straight to the live product. It’s like having a system that’s so reliable, you don’t need to wait for special release day, you can deliver new features or fixes to users as soon as they’re ready. Overall, CI/CD helps teams work together more effectively and get new updates to users faster and more reliably. www.chironit.com #ChironIT #Microservice #Pipeline
