The article discusses five effective CI/CD practices that significantly reduced deployment times from 5 hours to just 5 minutes. Initially overwhelmed by a convoluted deployment process, the author recognized the inefficiencies in their CI/CD pipeline, which prompted a systematic overhaul. Key improvements included implementing stateless pipelines, managing environment dependencies effectively, and enhancing automation throughout the deployment process. These modifications contributed to a more streamlined approach that allowed faster rollouts and easier debugging, ultimately transforming the way the team collaborated on deployments.
Our CI/CD pipeline was over-complicated, inefficient, and not automated enough. I started implementing some new CI/CD practices, and the results were game-changing.
Stateless pipelines mean that each pipeline run is independent of previous ones. This might sound simple, but the lack of dependency on previous states leads to smoother, faster deployments.
