Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
What is it?
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI and CD) are software development practices that follow the DevOps culture, using a central repository where developers can change code, with a focus on rapid deliveries with small and frequent changes to the application. A defined testing routine is required, where these changes are validated before going into production. Continuous integration refers to the creation and/or integration stage within the software release process, and delivery refers to the stage of releasing a new version into a production environment.
Benefits of CI/CD
With the growing demand for IT projects and application development, companies need to update their methodologies to deliver better quality software, with greater reliability, security and agility, both to deliver new functionality to their users and to modify and correct existing ones.
Well-defined Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery processes make this possible, by ensuring benefits such as:
Reliability
With a well-defined testing framework and automated deployment, there is less chance of application and infrastructure failures.
Speed
More frequent updates and less time between developing a new version and making it available to users.
Scalability
Scale infrastructure for efficient data processing quickly, securely, and automatically.
