Deployment / CI/CD

What are deployment and CI/CD?

Deployment is the process by which code changes are moved from the developer repository to the staging or production environment. CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment, that is, automated testing and deployment. Typical tools include GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Deployer, and DDEV. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we rely on reproducible deployments: every change undergoes testing, is deployed with versioning, and can be rolled back. Manual FTP uploads will no longer be an option in production B2B systems by 2026.
