}Quick Answer
Ci Cd Pipeline Workflow is a workflow template that a robust ci/cd pipeline is the backbone of modern software delivery.
Why This Workflow?
A robust CI/CD pipeline is the backbone of modern software delivery. Without automation, teams face slow release cycles, inconsistent deployments, and production incidents from untested code. This workflow ensures every code change goes through linting, testing, staging, and production with automatic rollback on failure.
How It Works
- Step 1: Code checkout triggers on every push to the main branch or pull request merge.
- Step 2: Linting and static analysis catch code style issues and potential bugs before tests run.
- Step 3: Unit tests and integration tests run in parallel to minimize pipeline duration.
- Step 4: Artifacts are built and pushed to a container registry (Docker Hub, ECR, GCR).
- Step 5: Staging deployment runs smoke tests against a production-like environment.
- Step 6: Production deployment uses blue-green or canary strategies with automatic rollback if health checks fail.
Alternatives
Manual deployments via SSH or FTP are error-prone and lack audit trails. Jenkins requires significant maintenance overhead. GitHub Actions or GitLab CI are good alternatives, but this FlowZap diagram helps teams visualize and document their pipeline before implementation.
