CI/CD Fundamentals

• A single source repository
  Source code management (SCM) that houses all necessary files and scripts to create builds.
• Automated builds
  Scripts should include everything you need to build from a single command.
• Builds should be self-testing
  Testing scripts should ensure that the failure of a test should result in a failed build.
• Frequent iterations
  Multiple commits to the repository mean there are fewer places for conflicts to hide.
• Stable testing environments
  Code should be tested in a cloned version of the production environment.
• Maximum visibility
  Every developer should be able to access the latest executables and see any changes made to the repository.
• Automated deployments
  Code should be able to deploy into multiple environments easily.
