Deployment with CI/CD
Deployment with CI/CD releases tested changes without downtime. If something fails, the previous version is back within minutes.
The risk of manual deployments
Manual FTP deployments leave files missing and caches stale, and nobody knows exactly which version is live.
CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous deployment. Every change passes the same automated checks before it goes live.
Pipeline stages
commit to Git and code review
automated tests and quality checks
asset build and dependency installation
deployment to staging for sign-off
approval and deployment to production
Zero downtime and a safe rollback
Each new version is fully prepared before traffic switches over. Database changes let old and new versions run side by side briefly, which keeps a rollback safe.
Secure credentials
Passwords and API keys never sit in the code. They are stored encrypted and separated by environment.
Approach
Pipelines run in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar services, and every release is documented.
