CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. It is a set of practices and tools that help software development teams frequently integrate new code changes into the codebase and deploy those changes to production environments quickly and reliably. CI (Continuous Integration) is the practice of automatically building and testing code changes as soon as they are committed to the codebase. This helps to detect and fix integration issues early on before they become a problem. CD (Continuous Deployment) is the practice of automatically deploying code changes to production environments as soon as they pass the testing and validation stages. This helps customers get new features and bug fixes faster and reduces the risk of human error.
