Mental BoundContinuous Integration means every code change triggers automated builds and tests. Developers merge frequently; the system catches integration issues early instead of at release time. Continuous Deployment extends this: passing builds deploy automatically to production, or to staging for manual approval.
A typical pipeline: push to a branch, run linting and unit tests, build the application, run integration tests, deploy to a preview environment, and optionally promote to production. Tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and CircleCI orchestrate these steps. The result is faster feedback, fewer manual errors, and the ability to ship small changes frequently rather than big risky releases.
