Building resilient software systems using CI/CD
This blog emphasizes the role of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) in creating resilient software systems. In today's fast-paced digital environment, CI enables developers to frequently integrate code changes into a shared repository, with automated tests ensuring stability. CD automates the deployment of these changes, allowing for quick releases and minimizing downtime.
Resilient systems are characterized by traits such as redundancy, fault tolerance, self-healing, scalability, and adaptability, which help maintain essential functions during disruptions. Companies like Netflix and AWS illustrate how CI/CD practices enhance system resilience.
The CI/CD pipeline consists of Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Continuous Testing, promoting early bug detection and rapid recovery from failures. Integrating CI/CD with resilient system design is essential for building robust software that effectively responds to challenges and user needs.
