CI/CD and Automation

Overview

Build and deployment pipelines should enforce quality automatically. Apply Shift Left principles (catch issues early), use feature flags for safe releases, and make the pipeline the authority on whether code is ready to ship.

When to Use

• Setting up CI/CD for a new project
• Modifying existing build or deploy pipelines
• Adding quality gates or automated checks
• Troubleshooting pipeline failures
