CI/CD

Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment — automated pipelines that build, test, and deploy code on every commit.

Definition

In long form.

CI runs on every push: install dependencies, run tests, lint, type-check, build the production bundle. CD continues automatically into staging and production deploys when CI passes. Common platforms: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Vercel, Netlify. Modern frameworks (Next.js + Vercel, Astro + Netlify) collapse most of CD into a single click — every PR gets a preview deploy, every merge to main goes to production.

In context

Every project we ship has CI/CD from day one — typically GitHub Actions for tests + Vercel for preview/production deploys. If a project doesn't have CI/CD, the first sprint is setting it up; everything else compounds on it.
