Ci Cd

There are multiple considerations to have while setting up Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines:

• Using source control as the trigger for the entire process (git for example). The build pipelines for your backend services should get executed when you push your code into a specific branch.
• Pick the right CI/CD platform for your needs, there are many out there such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI and more.
• Make sure you have automated unit tests that can be executed inside these pipelines.
• Automatic deployment should happen only if all tests are executed successfully, otherwise, the pipeline should fail, preventing broken code from reaching any environment.
• Use an artifact repository such as JFrog Artifactory or Nexus Repository to store successfully built services.
• Finally, consider setting up a rollback strategy in case something goes wrong and the final deployed version of your service is corrupted somehow.
