Building a CI/CD pipeline

A pipeline runs the same steps every time: test, build, push, deploy. Its value is the consistency, not the automation.

What this lesson covers

• Structure test, build, and deploy stages
• Cache dependencies to keep pipelines quick
• Gate deploys on checks that genuinely matter

This lesson sits in Continuous Delivery, part of DevOps with Docker and Kubernetes. It assumes what came before it and leads directly into the next lesson in the module.
