Pipeline Management
Pipeline Management is a systematic approach to designing, implementing, and maintaining automated workflows that handle the stages of software development, testing, and deployment. It involves orchestrating a series of steps—such as code compilation, testing, security scanning, and artifact deployment—into a cohesive, repeatable process. This methodology ensures consistent, reliable, and efficient delivery of software from development to production environments.
Developers should learn and use Pipeline Management to automate repetitive tasks, reduce human error, and accelerate software delivery cycles, particularly in DevOps and CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) contexts. It is essential for teams practicing agile development, as it enables frequent releases, improves code quality through automated testing, and supports scalable infrastructure management in cloud-native or microservices architectures.
