CI/CD Pipeline Builder
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and pipeline-as-code patterns. Build, test, deploy - automatically.

CI/CD pipeline stages: lint → test → build → scan → deploy (dev → staging → prod). Each stage gates the next. A failing test stops the entire pipeline.
GitHub Actions: workflow YAML files in .github/workflows/. Reusable workflows let you define a pipeline once and reference it from all repos. Matrix builds test across multiple OS/runtime versions.
