🔍 What is CI/CD?

CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment/Delivery. It is a DevOps practice that automates the software development lifecycle — from writing code to testing, building, and deploying it to production.

CI/CD ensures that every change made to your codebase is tested, integrated, and deployed automatically, reducing manual work and errors.

⚙️ How CI/CD Works – Step by Step

Let’s break down CI/CD into two core stages:

✅ Continuous Integration (CI)

CI is all about automating code integration and testing. Here’s how it works:

1. Developer pushes code to a shared repository (e.g., GitHub).
2. CI tool (like Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) automatically:
   • Pulls the new code
   • Builds the application
   • Runs automated tests
3. If the build passes, the code is integrated with the main project.

👉 Goal: Detect bugs early, ensure code quality, and avoid integration conflicts.

🚀 Continuous Delivery & Deployment (CD)

• Continuous Delivery: Automatically prepares the code for deployment, but a human approves the final release.
• Continuous Deployment: Fully automates the release process—every successful code change is deployed directly to production without manual approval.

Steps:

1. Run final tests
2. Package the application
3. Deploy to staging or production
4. Monitor for issues

👉 Goal: Deliver new features and updates to users faster and more safely.
