CI/CD Pipeline

CI/CD

A CI/CD pipeline (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) is an automated process that automatically tests, builds, and delivers code changes to the production environment. Every change passes quality checks — linting, unit tests, integration tests — before going live. This eliminates manual deployment errors and accelerates delivery.

Why does this matter?

CI/CD pipelines transform delivery speed: instead of risky monthly big releases, teams deploy multiple small, tested changes daily. For mid-sized businesses, this means: bug fixes in hours instead of weeks, new features to market faster, and fewer outages from faulty manual deployments.

How IJONIS uses this

We implement CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Vercel for web projects. Every commit automatically triggers linting, type checking, tests, and a preview deploy. For more complex setups, we use GitLab CI or self-hosted runners. Pipeline configuration is versioned as code — Infrastructure as Code for the entire delivery process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a CI/CD pipeline worth it for small projects too?
Yes. With Vercel and GitHub Actions, a basic pipeline is set up in minutes and free of charge. Even for a one-person project, it protects against the most common mistake: deploying code that works locally but causes issues in production. The investment is 30 minutes of setup — the benefit is permanent.
What happens when a test fails in the pipeline?
Deployment is automatically stopped and the developer is notified. The faulty change never reaches the production environment. The developer fixes the issue, commits again — and the pipeline runs from the start. This way, only verified code reaches users.
