CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery)

• CI is the process in which developers regularly merge their code into main branches of repositories
• Either through short-lived branches or directly to main
• Regular merging into mainline requires automated testing
• The final stage of CI is an artifact (a jar, a docker image, etc) that is deliverable
• CD is the process of regularly delivering code changes to production

Steps

1. Merge code changes
2. Tests
3. Build
4. Scans
5. Artifact repository
6. Deploy
