CI/CD Beyond The Basics: Deployment Strategies CI/CD has grown beyond simply building code and running tests. It now guides how we release software to real users. In this article we explore deployment strategies that help teams ship safely, quickly, and with less drama. Blue-green deployment keeps two identical environments. You test the new version in the idle environment, then switch traffic with a load balancer. If something goes wrong, you flip back in minutes. This approach minimizes downtime and makes rollbacks predictable. ...

From Unit Tests to Production: A CI/CD Journey Moving code from a developer’s laptop to real users requires more than a quick compile. A reliable CI/CD process helps catch bugs early and reduce risk at every step. This journey starts with solid unit tests and ends with confidence in production. Build a solid test pyramid. Unit tests are fast and frequent, integration tests validate how modules work together, and a small set of end-to-end tests guards critical user flows. Keep unit tests quick by avoiding long I/O and by isolating them. Use mocks or stubs for external services and run tests in under a minute per change. ...

Practical Machine Learning: From Data to Deployment Practical machine learning starts with a clear goal. Define the problem in business terms and decide how success will be measured. A simple plan helps the whole team stay aligned. Data is the fuel of any model. Gather representative data, check for missing values, and fix obvious inconsistencies. Split data into training and testing sets to estimate performance on unseen cases and to prevent leakage from the future. ...
