What is CI/CD?
Continuous Integration (CI) emphasizes building and (unit) testing as soon as developers submit new code. Based on the test results, we can determine whether the new code and the original code are correctly integrated.
Continuous Delivery (CD) is based on Continuous integration to deploy the integrated code into a production environment.
