CI/CD for Deployment Automation

Continuous integration validates every change; continuous delivery promotes tested artifacts to cloud platforms. This guide shows a baseline pipeline suitable for apps, open-source libs, and docs sites.

Example GitHub Actions workflow​

.github/workflows/deploy.yml
name: deploy
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm ci && npm test && npm run build
      - run: npm run deploy # or docker build + push

Pipeline stages​

  1. Lint & test — unit, integration, agent evals where applicable
  2. Build — static site, container image, or package artifact
  3. Preview — deploy docs or web previews per PR (web design)
  4. Promote — production deploy with approval gates

Docs and SEO in CI​

  • Fail builds on broken links (onBrokenLinks: 'throw')
  • Validate each page has a unique meta description (SEO guide)
