Pipeline as Code: Versioning Your Build Process
Treat your CI/CD pipeline not as clicks in a UI, but as a version-controlled file (`Jenkinsfile`) living with your code. This enables automated, reviewable build processes for every branch. The footgun is defining pipelines in the UI, creating a black box.
Pipeline as Code treats your CI/CD process as a reviewable, version-controlled artifact (`Jenkinsfile`) that lives in your source code repository, not as configurations clicked in a UI. This automatically creates build processes for all branches, provides a clear audit trail, and establishes a single source of truth for how software is built and deployed. The footgun is defining pipelines in the UI; this 'click-ops' approach is brittle, hard to audit, and impossible to version control.
