CI/CD Pipeline

An automated sequence of stages that takes code from commit through build, test, and deployment.

Definition

A pipeline typically includes source, build, test, security scan, package, and deploy stages, each with jobs that run on agents or runners. Pipelines are defined as code and produce traceable artifacts.

Example

Source (GitHub) -> Build (CodeBuild) -> Test -> Approve -> Deploy (CodeDeploy) in AWS CodePipeline.
