Abstract

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are pivotal in modern software development. Shifting from the classic waterfall models, the current age is dominated by Agile methodologies and DevOps practices. This article explores CI and CD's core principles, differences, and similarities. It touches upon essential techniques such as automation, ensuring consistency, and the importance of quick feedback mechanisms. Beyond these, the discussion extends to cutting-edge methods, infrastructure as code, potential security considerations, and monitoring within CI/CD environments. While CI/CD offers numerous benefits, it's essential to acknowledge its challenges, which necessitate attention and action. With an ever-evolving landscape featuring trends like AI/ML integration into CI/CD, businesses find themselves at a juncture where embracing and finetuning CI/CD is vital for competent software delivery.
