What is CI/CD?
Definition
CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) is a practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed. CI merges and tests code frequently; CD automatically deploys passing builds to staging or production.
Why It Matters
CI/CD catches bugs early, reduces manual deployment errors, and enables rapid iteration. Tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins run test suites on every push. Teams practicing CI/CD deploy multiple times per day with confidence.
