You've learned to collaborate with a team. Now it's time to learn how mature organizations build robust, automated, and high-quality software at scale. This module is about moving from commands to strategies.
2-Minute Primer: What is CI/CD?
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery. Think of it as an automated assembly line for your code.
- Continuous Integration (CI): Every time a developer proposes a change, an automated system builds the code and runs tests to ensure the change doesn't break anything.
- Continuous Delivery (CD): If all the tests pass, the system automatically prepares the code for release, and can even deploy it to users.
This process catches bugs early, improves quality, and speeds up development.
