CI/CD Pipeline for Web Applications

Abstract

Abstract: Modern organisation’s rapid pace of software development necessitates teams delivering high-quality software products faster than ever before. In order to accomplish this, software development teams are incorporating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) methodologies into their software development processes. CI/CD pipelines are a set of practises and tools that allow teams to efficiently and reliably automate the development, testing, and deployment of software products. CI/CD pipelines have become an essential tool for teams delivering web applications at a faster pace while ensuring scalability, security, and performance in the context of web applications. This paper provides an overview of the best practises and tools for constructing a successful CI/CD pipeline for web applications. Version control, continuous integration, automated testing, deployment automation, monitoring, and logging are among the key steps covered in the paper. The paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of CI/CD pipelines, such as increased productivity, shorter time-to-market, fewer manual errors, and better collaboration between development and operations teams. Several case studies are included in the paperto demonstrate the effectiveness of CI/CD pipelines in web application development. The case studies cover a variety of web applications, such as e-commerce websites, social media platforms, and healthcare apps. Each case study provides practical insights into CI/CD pipeline implementation, including the tools and technologies used, the benefits realised, and the challenges encountered. The case studies also emphasise the importance of culture and collaboration in CI/CD pipeline implementation success. The paper also discusses the key tools and technologies used in web application CI/CD pipelines, such as Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. The paper provides an overview of these tools as well as their role in various stages of the CI/CD pipeline. The paper also discusses the importance ofsecurity in CI/CD pipelines, as well as an overview of the key security practices that must be implemented
