The ability to deliver software quickly and efficiently is paramount to a company's success. This book is a comprehensive guide to continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), providing insights and practical strategies for streamlining the software delivery pipeline for speedy and efficient deployments.

You'll start by reviewing the fundamentals of CI/CD, and how it enables teams to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software, for faster and more reliable releases. The book then examines CI/CD pipelines, tooling, caching, and how to leverage these tools to expedite delivery workflows, before highlighting the increased importance of testing and monitoring during that process. You'll also gain insights into various testing methodologies and learn how to implement them effectively within your CI/CD pipelines.

However, the journey towards accelerated software delivery is not just about technology. It also requires a cultural shift within your software development team. The book accomplishes this by delving into strategies for getting apprehensive team members on board. CI/CD Unleashed provides the tools and techniques you need to ensure the quality and reliability of your software, while staying relatively agnostic regarding things like language and framework choices.
