CI/CD Pipeline (CI/CD)

An automated workflow that builds, tests, and deploys software changes — Continuous Integration plus Continuous Delivery/Deployment.

What Is a CI/CD Pipeline?

A CI/CD pipeline is an automated sequence that takes a code change from commit to production. Continuous Integration (CI) builds the change and runs tests on every commit so problems surface early; Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) then packages and releases the change to staging or production with minimal manual steps.

Well-run pipelines make releases small, frequent, and reversible: automated tests gate every merge, environments stay consistent, and rollbacks are quick. This reduces the risk of any single deployment and lets teams ship confidently many times a day.
