DevOps — CI/CD Pipeline Automation

A CI/CD pipeline automates the process of code integration, testing, and deployment. This reduces manual effort, speeds up releases, and ensures consistency. Pipelines can be built using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. A well-designed pipeline includes stages like build, test, staging deployment, and production deployment.

Example: Jenkins pipeline automatically builds code, runs tests, and deploys to staging after a developer pushes changes.
