CI/CD for Monolithic Applications

You’re likely intimately familiar with the deployment process for a monolithic application.

When there are code changes ready to go to production, the process often looks like this:

1. Run CI tasks, including testing and other automation efforts.

2. Merge the code to kick off continuous delivery, usually an abstracted service that will handle the update by pulling the updated code, running build processes, deploying the code to web servers, and restarting the web servers’ application servers and invalidating caches as needed.
