Codefresh advocates for an "everything as code" approach, emphasizing the programmatic creation and management of resources such as infrastructure, configurations, and pipelines, all defined as code to ensure consistency and reduce drift from specifications. By using Codefresh, users can create reusable pipelines with simple YAML definitions, manage updates, and onboard new applications seamlessly through code changes. The platform allows for the decoupling from a single pipeline source, offering flexible triggers and a programmatic way to create and manage pipelines, which can be stored in a Git repository. This approach not only provides shared documentation and accountability for pipeline changes but also facilitates automation through a pipeline factory that generates or updates pipelines based on changes to their code. Overall, Codefresh's model allows for a streamlined, efficient CI/CD process where pipelines are managed as code, enhancing both reliability and maintainability.
