CI/CD Pipeline for Microservices

Design and implement a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment pipeline for automated microservice delivery.

What is CI/CD?

Welcome to designing CI/CD pipelines! CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment.

It's a set of practices that automate the stages of software development.
From code changes to deployment, CI/CD aims to deliver updates faster and more reliably.
For microservices, CI/CD is crucial for managing many independent services efficiently.

Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of frequently merging code changes into a central repository.

Each merge triggers an automated build and test process.
The goal is to detect integration issues early and provide rapid feedback to developers.
This prevents 'integration hell' and keeps the codebase in a consistently working state.
