CI/CD is the process that ensures that code updates are deployed efficiently and reliably. However, more than simply having CI/CD pipelines is required for modern business application development needs. The problems start as soon as your team grows, but your CI/CD process does not. Static CI/CD pipelines result in an operational bottleneck and slow down your application workflow. Today, we will discuss why scaling your CI/CD is an inevitable need for your organization.

Engineering teams’ autonomy and agility are vital in achieving efficient software development. However, manual infrastructure provisioning is a major source of inefficiency and bottleneck. As the developers wait for Ops teams to provision complex infrastructure, they cannot bring the creativity, speed, and agility expected of them. This is the reason successful companies are quickly adopting self-service infrastructure.

Tech companies are gradually adopting the modern CI/CD flow that facilitates rapid releases and fast collaboration between team members. Traditional staging environments are being replaced with ephemeral environments because the shared staging environments do not support the culture of fast-release cycles mentioned earlier. As the traditional staging or testing environments are shared, one developer’s feature can cause bugs, making the whole environment unusable.

As a developer, how can you increase your velocity to ship, and how can you test what you are about to ship in a production-like environment to avoid bad surprises in production?

The trend of Platform Engineering is now gaining momentum, which analysts and industry experts refer to as one of the most disruptive philosophies of the moment. But regardless of experts’ predictions and assumptions, what matters for organizations today is understanding what adopting an approach such as Platform Engineering actually entails, what a successful solution looks like, and how to adopt best practices for its implementation. That's what this article is about.
