The latest News and Information on Continuous Integration and Development, and related technologies.
Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines have become fundamental to modern software development and code deployment. Implementing CI/CD practices can let teams deploy code more quickly and efficiently. But with these methods come a number of new challenges: bad code deploys are a major source of downtime and can lead to a loss of revenue and customer trust.

That’s why we’ve been working this year on continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) features, tailor-built for serverless applications.
