Learn DevOps & CI/CD
DevOps is the practice of automating how software gets built, tested and released. A CI/CD pipeline runs those steps for you every time code changes.
Why teams use it
- Automated checks catch problems before a human has to notice them.
- Releases become routine and reversible rather than risky events.
- The build process is documented by the pipeline itself.
Where you will meet it
A push to a branch triggers a build, runs the tests, produces a container image, and deploys it to a staging environment without anyone running commands by hand.
What to learn, and in what order
Work through these roughly in order. Jumping to the advanced list before the basics are solid is the most common way people get stuck.
Beginner
- What continuous integration means
- Build, test, package steps
- Environments
- Your first pipeline
Intermediate
- Artifacts and versioning
- Deployment strategies
- Secrets in pipelines
- Approvals and gates
Advanced
- Rollback strategies
- Observability and alerting
- Infrastructure as code pipelines
