#308: In this episode, hosts Darin and Viktor are joined by guest Ricardo Castro to delve into the complexities and misconceptions surrounding Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD). The discussion begins with Ricardo's insights from a previous talk on the overestimation of automated systems in CI/CD and transitions into a broader conversation about the true essence of CI/CD practices. Key points include the critical distinctions between CI and CD, the importance of small batch deployments, the role of automation in scaling these processes, and the vital connection between CI/CD and business needs. The episode also touches on the contributions to open source projects and the need for balancing automation with risk management, ultimately questioning whether CI/CD can ever be truly solved.
