Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools give developers the ability to automate the software development process. As soon as developers push code to git, your CI/CD system can build, test, stage, integration test, deploy, and scale. That’s fantastic! In this tutorial, we will look at CircleCI orbs and how they can support your CI/CD practice. We’ll look at how to use multiple orbs and how orbs can help with multi-builds for a variety of application types.

Configuring applications, services, and environments by modifying plain text files is a standard part of modern software development. Configuration as Code (CaC) takes this one step further by systematically generating, storing, and managing configuration files. CaC allows development teams to automate config management for their applications and environments while ensuring consistency and traceability throughout the development life cycle.

Ciara details how and when to generate an SBoM with the help of open-source tooling. Learn how to host SBoMs, as well as other SBoM considerations.

The first continuous integration (CI) tools were all self-hosted, meaning they ran on a developer’s local computer or server. Although this setup was viewed favorably by dev teams at the time, it has limited flexibility, and developers had to spend time maintaining the infrastructure.
