Original: CI/CD Pipelines for Growing Products: Fast Releases, Verifiable Recovery
Short summary
A framework for building CI/CD pipelines that reduce uncertainty of change rather than just automating clicks. Advocates building artifacts once and promoting them by digest across environments, applying fast checks early and risk-sensitive checks before exposure. Emphasizes separating deployment from release, rehearsing rollback with database effects, and using short-lived scoped credentials.
- •Build once, promote the exact artifact by digest across all environments
- •Separate deployment from release using feature flags, canaries, and rings
- •Rehearse rollback including schema, queue, and compatibility effects—not just compute
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
