Many beginners say:
“We have CI/CD.”
But don’t know which part is broken
- Continuous Integration (CI)
CI answers one question:
Is this code safe to merge?
CI includes:
Automated builds
Unit & integration tests
Linting & static checks
Weak CI = broken pipelines later.
- Continuous Delivery (CD)
CD answers:
Can we deploy safely right now?
CD focuses on:
Environment consistency
Deployment automation
Rollback readiness
Continuous Deployment
This is optional, not mandatory.
Only mature teams use it safely.
At InfraForgeLabs, CI is built first, hardened second — then CD is introduced.
Because speed without quality is chaos.

Nice and clear… one extra tip: treat CI as your safety net and CD as your accelerator. Don’t rush CD until CI is rock solid.. otherwise you’re automating mistakes instead of deployments...
