Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are practices in software development that automate and streamline the process of building, testing, and releasing software. CI involves regularly merging code changes into a central repository, where automated tests ensure stability. CD takes this further by automatically deploying validated updates to users, often multiple times a day. This approach reduces manual effort, catches issues early, and accelerates delivering new features and improvements, ensuring software remains reliable and up-to-date with minimal delays.
