How to Utilize Automated Quality Gates in Your CI/CD Pipelines
summary
Shows runnable YAML examples that put pre/post-deploy bash health checks and smoke tests into Azure/Ado pipelines, measures unit test results with a 90% code coverage gate, and runs an Aqua security scan that blocks on critical or high vulnerabilities. Demonstrates using k6 for early performance checks, mutation and static/dynamic analysis hooks, and storing pipeline metrics for observability so failures are trended and gates are adjusted rather than blindly enforced.
