# CI/CD - Automate API Delivery

Canonical page: https://apiopscycles.com/stations/ci-cd

Language: en

Entity ID: ci-cd

## Description

Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to automate API delivery and ensure consistent quality.

## Why it matters

CI/CD is essential for ensuring that APIs are delivered quickly, reliably, and with high quality. This station provides guidelines for implementing CI/CD pipelines that automate the build, test, and deployment processes for APIs.

## Apply in work

Provide CI/CD frameworks, tools, and best practices for API delivery. Ensure teams implement automated pipelines that support continuous integration, testing, and deployment of APIs.

## Outcomes

- Automated CI/CD pipelines established for API delivery
- Consistent quality and traceability in API delivery
- Faster iterations and reduced time to market
- Improved collaboration and feedback loops in API development

## Steps

1. Use CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deployment processes, ensuring consistent quality and traceability.
2. Integrate functional and non-functional testing into the CI/CD pipeline to ensure APIs meet quality standards.
3. Implement automated security checks and compliance validations in the CI/CD pipeline to ensure APIs are secure and compliant.
