Learn how to design CI/CD pipelines that are both fast and reliable, with proper error handling and rollback strategies.
Pipeline Design Principles
Good CI/CD pipelines follow several key principles: speed, reliability, visibility, and maintainability. Each stage should have a clear purpose and be optimized for its specific function.
Error Handling
Implement proper error handling at every stage of your pipeline. Use retry mechanisms for transient failures and fail fast for permanent issues.
Rollback Strategies
Always have a plan for rolling back deployments. This includes both automated rollbacks for critical failures and manual rollback procedures for more complex scenarios.
