CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment)

CI/CD is a methodology and set of practices that automate the process of integrating code changes, running tests, and deploying applications. Continuous Integration (CI) automatically builds and tests code changes as they're committed to version control. Continuous Deployment (CD) automatically deploys tested code to production environments. CI/CD pipelines reduce manual errors, speed up release cycles, and ensure code quality through automated testing and deployment. Tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD help teams implement these practices.
