DevOps & Docker
CI/CD
Automatically testing and deploying code every time it changes, instead of doing it by hand.
Reviewed by the RadarTrek editorial team · June 2026
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment. Continuous Integration automatically runs tests on every code push, catching problems immediately. Continuous Deployment automatically ships passing code to production, so merging to main can mean live in production within minutes — no manual steps.
Why it matters
- —CI/CD removes "it works on my machine" risk by testing code the same way every single time.
- —Automated deployment means shipping a fix can take minutes instead of a manual afternoon.
- —Most teams require CI checks to pass before a pull request is even allowed to merge.
