Ideal Blueprint Versus Reality for CI/CD Pipelines
summary
Blueprint shows an actual CI/CD pipeline: source control choices (avoid GitFlow for most web apps), automated builds and artifact storage with artifact version includes git commit hash, infra as code with Terraform/CloudFormation/Pulumi, staged tests (unit → integration → performance) and deployment strategies (rolling, blue‑green, canary, A/B). Claims come with numbers and limits: 20–25 projects built from scratch, teams doing ~100 deploys/day, aim for feedback under 15 minutes, keep build failure rate 5–10%, and short‑lived or trunk‑based branches for fast delivery.
