Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) - A Practical Guide to Designing and Developing Pipelines

Use continuous Integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to improve the speed of software delivery. This book presents a game changer-how to use pipelines to automate the software delivery process. The theories about CI/CD are much the same, but the book covers what the development of pipelines...
