Design effective CI/CD pipelines — stages, gates, parallelism, caching, and deployment strategies.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
Pipeline design covers the architecture of CI/CD workflows. Key patterns: build → test → deploy stages, quality gates, parallel jobs, dependency caching, artifact management, deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling), and environment promotion. Good pipeline design balances speed with safety.
