Automation and CI/CD Procedure
Continuous integration kicks off the CI/CD process (CI). CI empowers developers to work independently, allowing them to create their own coding ``branch`` to execute minor modifications. As the developer works, snapshots of the source code can be taken, often using a versioning tool such as Git.
Our competent DevOps team with a solid CI/CD pipeline may also perform continuous deployment, where updates are routed through the CI/CD pipeline and passing builds are sent straight to production.
CI/CD Pipeline Stages
These phases comprise the development lifecycle and workflow of the CI/CD pipeline, from source code through production.
- Build: This step of the continuous integration process comprises the generation and compilation of code.
- Testing: Team members test the code at this point. Continuous delivery and deployment both use automated testing.
- Delivery: A codebase that has been authorized is deployed to a production environment after developer permission.
- Deploy: Products or code are delivered to repositories and subsequently pushed into deployment with human approval in continuous delivery.
Continuous Delivery (CD)
Continuous delivery is a software development methodology that, when combined with continuous integration, automates infrastructure provisioning and application deployment.
Once the code has been tested and developed as part of the CI process, continuous delivery takes over during the final steps to guarantee it can be deployed to any environment at any time. Continuous delivery provides the infrastructure to deploy the application and test the production environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is version control?
Version control refers to a collection of procedures and technologies used to manage codebases. Version control is used by developers to maintain track of every line of code and to communicate, review, and synchronise changes across a team.
2. What is the definition of a Git repository?
Every file in a software project is tracked in a Git repository. The repository acts as an index for all of the project’s files and modifications, allowing developers to go to any point in the project’s history.
3. What is the definition of a Git branch?
A Git branch is a separate line of development that is typically used to work on a feature. Branches enable developers to code without interfering with the work of other team members.
4. How does Gitflow differ from trunk-based development?
Gitflow is a Git workflow that makes extensive use of branches. In Gitflow, all code is merged into the develop branch rather than the main branch, which serves as a condensed version of the project’s history.
Gitflow is more difficult than trunk-based development and has a larger possibility of causing merge conflicts, which is why it has fallen out of favor with the development community.
