Implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in Modern Software Development

Yash Jani

Abstract: Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are essential practices in modern software development, enhancing software delivery's efficiency, reliability, and quality. This paper explores the principles, benefits, and implementation strategies of CI/CD, supported by real-world examples and case studies. We delve into the tools and technologies that facilitate CI/CD, the challenges encountered during implementation, and best practices to mitigate these challenges. The paper concludes with future trends and the evolving landscape of CI/CD in software development.
