When a lot of people are working on a product, it can get pretty painful when developers contribute to the end code. They have to manually coordinate and communicate all the changes, and this coordination goes far beyond the development teams, as it\u2019s not only developers who are responsible for a product\u2019s features. For instance, product teams must plan a sequential launch of features and choose people to be in charge of that. But the bigger the team, the higher the chances of failure in the code.<\/p>\n
To relieve developers and other team members from all this work, continuous integration (CI) was invented. Basically, CI is the practice of regularly merging all working copies of a code to a shared mainline, multiple times a day. The CI collects all the code changes in one place, prepares their publication, and tests and prepares the code release. All this helps minimize human error in code review (which grows as the team grows), saves time, and improves the quality of the code.<\/p>\n
Having numerous case studies<\/a> from industries such as fintech, travel, and e-commerce and providing travel software development<\/a> services, the Django Stars team is repeatedly convinced of the effectiveness of this approach in practice. Here’s a closer look at what CI\/CD is and what tools are used for this.
