In a cloud-native environment, introducing new releases or features should simply be a matter of hours (not weeks or months!). Our in-house developed continuous integration & continuous delivery pipeline allows us to create and upgrade a cloud environment fast.
Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) embody a culture, set of operating principles and collection of practices that enable our application development teams to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably.
It enables our software development teams to focus on meeting business requirements, code quality, and security because deployment steps are automated.
Continuous integration
Is a coding philosophy and set of practices that drive development teams to implement small changes and check in code to version control repositories frequently. The technical goal of CI is to establish a consistent and automated way to build, package, and test applications.
Continuous delivery
Starts where continuous integration ends. It automates the delivery of applications to selected infrastructure environments. Most teams work with multiple environments other than the production, such as development and testing environments, and CD ensures there is an automated way to push code changes to them.
