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. ...

CI/CD Pipelines That Scale with Your Team As teams grow, CI/CD pipelines must stay fast and reliable. A scalable design prevents build queues from slowing down developers and helps new members contribute quickly. Start with a simple, repeatable blueprint and improve it with reusable templates and clear guardrails. Plan for scale Define a core blueprint: build, test, package, and deploy. Make each step small, stateless, and idempotent. Use templates for environments (dev, staging, prod) and reference variables from a central config. Add a matrix strategy to run multiple test suites or language versions in parallel. This keeps pipelines fast and predictable as teams add workers. ...
