What is CI/CD?
Automated processes that test your code (Continuous Integration) and deploy it (Continuous Deployment) whenever you make changes
Why It Matters
CI/CD catches bugs early through automated testing and makes deploying updates as simple as pushing code
Real-World Example
When you push code to GitHub, tests run automatically, and if they pass, your site updates within minutes
“Understanding terms like CI/CD matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
