What is CI/CD?

CI/CD is a set of practices, tools, and processes that allow software development teams to automate the building, testing, and deployment of their applications, enabling them to release software more frequently and with greater confidence in its quality.

Continuous integration (CI) is a practice where developers regularly integrate their code changes into a repository, and each integration triggers an automated build and test process. This helps catch errors early and ensures that the application can be built and tested reliably.

For example, using Docker, a developer can set up a CI pipeline that automatically builds and tests their application whenever changes are pushed to the code repository. The pipeline can include steps to build a Docker image, run automated tests, and publish the image to a Docker registry.

Continuous delivery is the practice of getting software to be available for deployment after the successful integration process. For example, with...
