Continuous delivery pipeline

/02 About

Every change is built, tested and scanned once, stored as a versioned artifact, and promoted through staging to production by an automated pipeline.

Developers merge small changes often. A pipeline builds each change once, runs tests and security checks, publishes an immutable artifact and promotes that same artifact through environments, with production releases gated by checks rather than manual steps. When to use: any team shipping software regularly; it is the foundation that makes the other patterns safe to operate. Trade-offs: faster, safer and repeatable releases with a clear audit trail; it needs investment in automated tests, environment parity and pipeline security, since the pipeline can change production.
