What is CI/CD? A Primer on Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

Do your current DevOps methodologies and processes empower your developers—or are they holding them back?

The modern software development life cycle puts developers up against a variety of challenges, including shorter timelines, more demanding customers, limited resources, a constantly evolving technological landscape, and more. Inefficient workflows could also be trapping your developers with repetitive or redundant tasks.

Enterprises looking to accelerate release cycles and improve revenue (and make developers both happier and more productive!) are increasingly turning to continuous integration and continuous delivery frameworks to ensure fast, safe, and repeatable workflows.

It's no longer good enough to simply deliver great software, web applications, or content experiences to your customers. You also need to be faster than the competition. Stumbling during the go-to-market race could have serious consequences for your bottom line.

Understanding the principles of CI/CD is the first step in deciding if automation is right for your DevOps team and your business.
