GitHub Actions CI/CD
Automate linting, tests, builds, and container publishing so every change follows the same repeatable delivery path.
Production project
Automated Delivery Pipeline
A team wants every pull request checked automatically and every main-branch change packaged consistently.
Who this is for
- •Developers manually building and shipping applications
- •Engineers who want a practical first CI/CD pipeline
How this helps
- •You replace manual delivery steps with a reproducible pipeline
- •You gain a foundation for cloud deployments
What you will learn
The capabilities, not just the keywords.
- •Understand workflow triggers, jobs, and steps
- •Run lint and tests on pull requests
- •Build an application artifact or container image
- •Handle secrets without committing them
- •Design a promotion path toward deployment

Every session can be booked independently. If you already know the prerequisite material, skip ahead.
Useful before this
No earlier session is mandatory.
Good next steps
This is currently the end of this flagship path.

Request this sessionFAQ
Can I book only this session?
Yes. Every session is designed to work independently.
Can I bring my own project?
Yes, when it fits the session outcome. We can map the concepts onto your project instead of the default example.
What if I already know part of the topic?
We can move faster through familiar material and spend more time on implementation, failure modes, and production trade-offs.
Is the session recorded?
Recording is not promised by default. Confirm this before the session if you need it.
What should I install?
The preparation section above lists the default setup. You will receive any session-specific setup notes before the call.
Are API or cloud charges included?
No. Any third-party API or cloud usage is paid directly through your own account unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
