Throughout my DevOps consulting career, I've realized that the true value of our work lies in optimizing processes to free up developer time. A key part of optimizing DevOps processes is understanding the difference between manual (on-demand) and automated (triggered) processes.

In this post, we’ll dive into both manual and automated triggers, exploring their roles and integration in CI/CD pipelines. We’ll also tackle the differences between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment, and why one might be a more realistic goal than the other. By understanding these mechanisms and exploring automation opportunities, you can streamline workflows, reduce errors, and boost productivity in your development process.

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery & Deployment (CD) are pivotal concepts in modern software development, facilitating rapid and reliable delivery. By frequently integrating code into a shared repository, detecting issues early, and automating deployments, CI/CD ensures that software can consistently be released to production with high confidence.

In the fast-paced world of DevOps, it’s challenging to produce and test high-quality software without sacrificing efficiency. But what if we told you there’s a better way?

In the dynamic realm of technology, innovations evolve from cumbersome initial concepts to streamlined solutions. This journey of continuous enhancement parallels the shift in system administration from manual, labor-intensive setups to the elegant processes of the DevOps era, emphasizing automation and efficient application delivery.
