Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a crucial strategy in software development that facilitates the safe, efficient, and rapid updating of code by integrating automated testing and code promotion processes. These processes help teams maintain high code quality, protect production deployments from bugs, and ensure all changes are reviewed and approved. Without CI/CD, projects face increased risks of pipeline failures, performance issues, and inability to revert to previous code versions. At Astronomer, CI/CD tooling, including CI/CD templates, Deploy Action, and Astro CLI, supports seamless management of Airflow pipelines, and a new feature, CI/CD enforcement, further strengthens this system by mandating that all code changes deploy through CI/CD. This feature, activated via API tokens, prevents unauthorized deployments, ensuring that all runtime deployments adhere to robust CI/CD procedures, enhancing data reliability and workflow stability. Users can apply this enforcement at either the workspace level or for specific runtime deployments, depending on their needs, and detailed documentation is available for implementation guidance.
