CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment—a practice of automatically testing and deploying code changes multiple times per day.
Why It Matters
CI/CD catches bugs early and deploys features faster, reducing risk and enabling teams to ship several times per day instead of once per month.
When to Use This
- Automatically running tests on every code push
- Deploying to staging after tests pass
- One-click production deployments
- Rolling back failed deployments automatically
Examples
- GitHub Actions running tests, then deploying to Forge on success
- Automatic deployment to staging server when pushing to develop branch
- Blue-green deployments with instant rollback capability
