Unfortunately, transitioning to CI/CD is not as straightforward as merely creating a brand-new build and deploy pipeline and then going ahead and deploying any software you have straight to production. There are a number of foundational elements you might want to consider carefully before just jumping straight into things headfirst. It’s important to note that while CI/CD will definitely allow you to move more quickly and streamline your development process, you must first ensure you put the right foundations in place to allow you to do this all safely and in a way that allows your transition to this new way of working to be smooth and effective!
