CI / CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery)
Automated pipelines that run tests on every commit (CI) and deploy validated builds to environments (CD).
Definition
Continuous Integration runs the build, type-check, lint and test suite automatically on every push so problems surface in minutes, not days. Continuous Delivery (or Deployment) extends that pipeline to automatically promote validated builds through environments (staging, canary, production). Good CI/CD pipelines treat infrastructure-as-code the same way: plan-and-apply gates, reproducible builds and blue/green or canary rollouts.
Why it matters
CI/CD is the leverage that lets small teams ship fast without breaking production. The absence of it is one of the strongest predictors of slow, painful, bug-ridden software delivery.
