Description

What you'll learn

CI/CD is how great engineering teams ship software fast and confidently — and it's one of the most in-demand skills in the industry. This hands-on course takes you from manual, error-prone deploys to a fully automated pipeline, building everything around one real project: a Node.js Task Manager API.

You won't just read theory. You'll write real GitHub Actions workflows, run tests automatically on every pull request, block broken merges, test against a real database, build and cache artifacts, manage secrets safely, deploy to staging and production with approval gates, containerize with Docker, version your releases, and wire up monitoring and notifications.

The 9 sections

  1. Foundations of CI/CD — what CI/CD really is, the pipeline flow, and Git branching basics.
  2. Your First CI Pipeline — GitHub Actions, CI on pull requests, automated tests, and code quality.
  3. Building Applications Automatically — build pipelines, artifacts, caching, and pipeline security.
  4. Continuous Deployment — deploying automatically, to the cloud, with environments and rollbacks.
  5. Versioning, Docker & Multi-Stage Pipelines — releases, multi-stage pipelines, and Docker in CI.
  6. Real-World DevOps — branching strategies, monitoring, debugging, and best practices.
  7. Final Project — build a complete production pipeline end to end.
  8. Career & Industry — how CI/CD works inside real companies.

Every lesson ends with a mini-quiz, and each section closes with a checkpoint quiz so you can prove the concepts stuck.

Who this is for

Beginner and junior developers, students who know basic Git, and anyone who deploys apps manually today and wants to automate it. No prior DevOps or CI/CD experience required.
