CircleCI orbs are reusable YAML configuration packages designed to streamline the CI/CD process by reducing configuration complexity and enhancing efficiency. This tutorial explores the use of multiple orbs in CircleCI, illustrating their role in supporting multi-builds for various application types, such as a combined Flask API and Node.js command-line application. The text highlights how orbs can save time, simplify third-party integrations, and boost organizational efficiency by allowing developers to package, ship, and reuse configurations easily. By using multiple orbs, developers can create a more robust CI/CD pipeline, leading to faster project execution and excellent reusability. The tutorial also provides steps to set up multiple orbs and demonstrates the advantages of using orbs over standard configurations through comparative workflow run times.
