A typical CI/CD pipeline includes the following stages:
- Source:
- Code is committed to a version control system.
- Triggers a pipeline run.
- Build:
- The code is compiled and built into a deployable artifact.
- Test:
- Automated tests are run to validate the build.
- Includes unit tests, integration tests, and other automated tests.
- Deploy:
- The build is deployed to a staging or production environment.
- Monitor:
- Applications and infrastructure are monitored for performance and errors.
- Feedback is gathered for continuous improvement.
By implementing CI/CD practices and using an effective toolchain, organizations can achieve faster and more reliable software delivery, improving overall efficiency and customer satisfaction.
