1. Introduction
Continuous Integration (CI) addresses this challenge in software development by automating
the process of integrating code changes from multiple developers. Here's how it works:
Centralized Code Repository: Developers store their code in a shared location, typically
using a version control system like Git. This ensures everyone works on the same
codebase.
Triggered by Commits: Whenever a developer commits their code changes to the
central repository (like pushing code to a specific branch), CI automatically kicks into
action.
Automated Build Process: CI initiates a build process, which compiles the code and
ensures it runs without errors. This is akin to the chefs checking if all the ingredients are
compatible and can be combined.
Automated Testing: CI then executes a suite of automated tests. These tests verify if the
new code changes introduce any bugs or break existing functionalities, similar to the
chefs testing the taste and quality of the dish at each stage.
Rapid Feedback: CI provides developers with quick feedback on the success of their
changes. If any errors are detected during the build or tests, developers can promptly
address them before they escalate into larger issues.
Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) takes the baton from Continuous Integration (CI) and
automates the process of delivering or deploying your application to production environments.
Continuous Delivery: Imagine a well-oiled assembly line for your application. CI prepares
the application (building and testing), and CD packages it for deployment. However, a quality
control checkpoint exists before pushing the final product out to customers. In CD, a manual
approval step might be included before deploying the application to production. This allows for a
final review and sign-off before releasing the new version to users.
Continuous Deployment: This approach takes the concept of automation a step further.
Imagine a self-driving delivery truck! Once the CI pipeline completes successfully (building,
testing, and packaging), the application is automatically deployed to production. This enables
very frequent deployments, with minimal human intervention.
