Best fit design patterns – considerations
We have learned that anti-patterns are common pitfalls that can lead to inefficient and error-prone practices within CI/CD processes. Anti-patterns often arise from a need for a better understanding of CI/CD principles or from short-term solutions that become detrimental in the long run.
When considering the best fit for CI/CD, it is essential to evaluate the project’s specific needs and context. There are several factors involved, such as team size, project complexity, and the technology stack influencing the choice of design patterns. For example, a microservices architecture might benefit from a pipeline that emphasizes independent deployments, while a monolithic application might require a different approach.
Moreover, the continuous evolution of software development practices necessitates regular reviews and updates of CI/CD patterns. What may be considered a best practice today could evolve into an anti-pattern tomorrow...
