A CI/CD or continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline consists of a series of tasks or steps that you need to carry out in order to deliver a newer version of a software application. This CI/CD pipeline is basically a practice that ultimately enhances the quality of an application under development and expedites its delivery timeline by adopting a DevOps approach or site-reliability engineering method. It also includes monitoring and automation within the overall lifecycle of the project to improve the application development and testing processes and software delivery. The actual worth of a CI/CD pipeline lies in process automation.
