Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are software development practices that aim to automate the process of integrating code changes into a shared repository (CI) and deploying code changes to production environments (CD) in a reliable and rapid manner. CI involves automatically building and testing code changes whenever a developer commits code to the repository to detect integration issues early. CD takes this a step further by automating the deployment of code changes to various environments, such as testing, staging, and production, after passing the necessary tests. This helps teams to deliver updates and new features more frequently and with less risk of errors.
