Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

Agile processes, prioritizing speed, quality, and efficiency, are gradually replacing traditional software development and deployment methods in the age of rapid software delivery. CI/CD has become a fundamental component of contemporary software development, allowing teams to automate the processes of building, testing, and deploying software. The pipeline facilitates the flow of code changes from development to production and is the central component of continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). Recent studies like “State of DevOps” highlight that the most common DevOps practices are continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), used by 80% of organization…

Hello Everyone I am currently working on integrating automated rollbacks into our CI/CD pipeline to ensure a more robust deployment process. Our team is looking to find the best methods and tools that can be adopted to make this transition as smooth as possible. I came across this article- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/devops traininglatest/userguide/deployments-rollback-and-redeploy.html ,that provided some insights, but I'd love to hear from those of you who have hands-on experience in this area: What strategies have you implemented for automated rollbacks? How do you handle rollback complexities, especially when dealing with dependencie…

Organizations often use Terraform Modules to orchestrate complex resource provisioning and provide a simple interface for developers to enter the required parameters to deploy the desired infrastructure. Modules enable code reuse and provide a method for organizations to standardize deployment of common workloads such as a three-tier web application, a cloud networking environment, or a data analytics pipeline. When building Terraform modules, it is common for the module author to start with manual testing. Manual testing is performed using commands such as terraform validate for syntax validation, terraform plan to preview the execution plan, and terraform apply followed…

In the fast-paced world of software development, where agility and rapid iteration are key, a slow and sluggish CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline can be a major bottleneck. Slow pipelines not only hinder developer productivity but also delay the delivery of new features and bug fixes to users. To address this challenge, organizations are seeking strategies to optimize and accelerate their CI/CD pipelines. In this article, we explore effective strategies to speed up CI/CD pipelines and achieve faster time-to-delivery. 1. Parallelize Builds and Tests: One of the most effective ways to speed up CI/CD pipelines is to parallelize the build an…
