What is CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment)?

Continuous Integration automatically builds and tests code every time a developer pushes changes. Continuous Deployment automatically releases tested code to production. Together, CI/CD eliminates manual deployment processes, catches bugs earlier, and enables multiple production releases per day. A typical CI/CD pipeline includes: code push, automated build, unit tests, integration tests, staging deployment, and production deployment. At Attreides, we implement CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Vercel, or AWS CodePipeline — including automated testing, preview deployments, and zero-downtime production releases.
