CI/CD Concepts

CI (Continuous Integration) frequently integrates code changes. CD (Continuous Delivery/Deployment) automates delivery to production.

GitHub Actions Example

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test
  build:
    needs: test
    steps:
      - run: npm run build

Pipeline Stages

  • Code linting and type checking
  • Unit and integration tests
  • Build and optimization
  • Security scanning
  • Deployment

Best Practices

  • Keep builds fast (5-10 minutes)
  • Cache dependencies
  • Run independent jobs in parallel
  • Protect main branch
