Gitlab CI/CD - Hello World
Your journey begins with a single file: .gitlab-ci.yml. We will write your first pipeline definition, commit it to the repository, and watch GitLab automatically trigger a job that prints a simple message to the console.
Gitlab CI/CD - The Runner Ecosystem
Runners are the engines of your pipeline. Whether using Shared Runners for quick tasks or Specific Runners for specialized hardware, we'll cover how to select, tag, and configure the right execution environment for your needs.
Gitlab CI/CD - Architecture
GitLab CI/CD relies on a Coordinator-Runner model. The GitLab server manages the pipeline state, while isolated Runners pick up jobs and execute the heavy lifting. We’ll map out how these components communicate securely to execute your code.
Gitlab CI/CD - The "Why"
CI/CD automates integration, delivery, and deployment, reducing manual errors and speeding up release cycles. We'll explore how this culture shift transforms code from a static file into a living product delivered to users instantly.
