Architectural Takeaway

A resilient deployment pipeline treats infrastructure as code, enforces ephemeral containerized test runners, and signs software supply chain artifacts with cryptographic attestation.

1. The Shift from Monolithic Releases to Continuous Flow

Gone are the days of 'FTPing' files to a server. Modern software delivery is a pipeline. CI (Continuous Integration) builds and tests; CD (Continuous Deployment) releases.
