Manual Operations vs CI/CD
Developers should learn about manual operations to understand foundational IT processes, troubleshoot issues in environments where automation is not feasible, and appreciate the value of automation by experiencing its inefficiencies firsthand meets developers should learn and use ci/cd to automate repetitive tasks like building, testing, and deploying code, which is essential for modern agile and devops practices. Here's our take.

Manual Operations
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about manual operations to understand foundational IT processes, troubleshoot issues in environments where automation is not feasible, and appreciate the value of automation by experiencing its inefficiencies firsthand
Pros
- +It is particularly relevant in legacy systems, small-scale projects, or during initial prototyping where setting up automation may not be cost-effective
- +Related to: automation, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
CI/CD
Developers should learn and use CI/CD to automate repetitive tasks like building, testing, and deploying code, which is essential for modern agile and DevOps practices
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in projects requiring frequent updates, such as web applications, microservices, or mobile apps, as it ensures faster feedback loops and reduces deployment risks
- +Related to: devops, jenkins
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Manual Operations if: You want it is particularly relevant in legacy systems, small-scale projects, or during initial prototyping where setting up automation may not be cost-effective and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use CI/CD if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in projects requiring frequent updates, such as web applications, microservices, or mobile apps, as it ensures faster feedback loops and reduces deployment risks over what Manual Operations offers.
