GitLab CI/CD

WHAT IS GITLAB CI/CD?

GitLab CI/CD is an integrated continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) platform that is part of the GitLab ecosystem. It allows developers to set up and manage automated build, testing and deployment processes for their software projects, right within the GitLab interface.

WHAT DO WE USE GITLAB CI/CD FOR?

GitLab CI/CD is used to automate and accelerate the software development process. Developers can set up CI/CD pipelines that run automatically when changes are made in the code. These pipelines can contain various steps such as: Such as compiling the code, running tests, creating artifacts, and deploying applications to different environments. By using GitLab CI/CD, developers can ensure changes can be delivered quickly and reliably while improving the quality of their software through automated testing.

WHY GITLAB CI/CD?

GitLab CI/CD offers several benefits for developers and organizations. First, it simplifies the development process by allowing developers to configure and manage CI/CD pipelines directly within the GitLab interface without having to resort to separate tools or platforms. Second, it improves productivity because developers spend less time on manual tasks and can instead focus on developing features and fixing bugs. Third, it helps improve software quality by enabling automated testing and delivery processes that are reliable and consistent. Overall, GitLab helps CI/CD teams accelerate their software development processes, improve quality, and increase efficiency.
