CI/CD Pipeline Best Practices

CI/CD pipeline best practices include:

• Automated Testing: Integrate automated unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests into your pipeline to ensure code quality.
• Version Control: Use a version control system like Git to manage your codebase and track changes effectively.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) to enable reproducibility and versioning of environments.
• Continuous Integration (CI): Automate the process of merging code changes into a shared repository frequently to detect integration errors early.
• Artifact Management: Store build artifacts (e.g., Docker images, JAR files) in a central repository for easy retrieval and versioning.
• Immutable Deployments: Deploy immutable artifacts to ensure consistency and avoid configuration drift.
• Continuous Deployment (CD): Automate the deployment process to move code changes through multiple environments (e.g., development, staging, production) safely and efficiently.
• Monitoring and Logging: Integrate monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, ELK stack) into your pipeline to track performance metrics and detect issues promptly.
• Security Scanning: Incorporate…
