App Building & Devintermediate
CI/CD
Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment
Definition
An automated pipeline that tests and deploys code every time a developer pushes changes. CI runs tests; CD ships passing code to production automatically.
Why it matters
CI/CD means bugs get caught before users see them and new features ship without manual effort. Tools like GitHub Actions and Vercel make it easy to set up.
Example
Every time a founder's developer pushes to GitHub, tests run automatically. If they pass, the code deploys to production within 2 minutes, no manual deployment steps.
