CD (Continuous Delivery) — Part 5: LCA — Load, Stress, and Chaos Engineering
Real resilience validation: load tests, stress tests, and chaos engineering to guarantee stability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
CD (Continuous Delivery) — Part 4: Deploy to Staging and Performance Smoke Tests
Pre-production deployment with production parity, E2E and lightweight performance validation, and manual approval before production.
CD (Continuous Delivery) — Part 3: Deploy to Dev and Smoke Tests
Deployment of the verified artifact to the development environment and quick validation with smoke tests to detect obvious failures.
CD (Continuous Delivery) — Part 2: Image Scan and Service Tests
Container image vulnerability scanning and service validation with contract tests, endpoints, and dependency checks.
CD (Continuous Delivery) — Part 1: packaging, SBOM, and remediation
Start of the continuous delivery cycle: Docker packaging, SBOM generation, image signing, and the concept of remediation.
CI (Continuous Integration): analysis, tests, quality, and security
The stages of continuous integration: linting, build, static analysis, tests, coverage, quality gate and security scan, with the role of AI in each one.
Pre-CI: General CI/CD Pipeline Architecture and Pre-checks
The complete CI/CD pipeline and the checks that run before CI: fast static analysis, linting, formatting, conventions, contracts and AI review.
CI/CD: Branching, Git Flow, and Pull Requests
Branching strategies, GitFlow models, the modern AI-assisted developer workflow, and the complete Pull Request process in professional CI/CD environments.
CI/CD: Core Concepts — pipeline, job, stage, step, and gates
The building blocks of any CI/CD pipeline: pipelines, gates, jobs, stages and steps, and what they are called in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins.
CI/CD: Introduction — What It Is, Why It Matters, and Who Does It
First part of the CI/CD series: what Platform Architecture is, which roles design it, and why any serious software product needs a well-designed pipeline.
