CI, or more specifically the pipeline on your Git platform, is useful though. As soon someone commits to their Merge Request, tests/builds/others checks are ran. This somewhat forces devs to use code style, linting and tools, and reviewer doesn't have to get their own copy and run these just to be sure. As for "no branches, merge everything into develop branch" or something... yeah, I am not buying it either.

What you explain is not an issue with CI/CD but a concrete (and incorrect) implementation that you probably encountered. A correct implementation would have all necessary build, test and deployment scripts in the same repository as the application and those scripts are constantly exercised (on each commit). If one commit breaks the pipeline (be it a change in code, a test or in the pipeline itself), whoever broked it should either fixit or reverse the commit within 10 minutes. On top of that, companies doing CI/CD would normally be following real agile practices and be structured with small autonomous teams, so in no way they'd have bureaucracy overhead.

@@Buffalo5 Yes, that is true. BUT, and here's my beef with CD/CI, under previous "less refined" models, when something was problematic, the people that got screwed were in a position to complain (and be heard) or simply do something about it. That is devops when it was called devops. Nowadays it seems that eventually CD/CI ends up being a mess where if something problematic is going on that delays things, the people that gets screwed (developers) are NOT in a position to do something about it because the pipeline (and products and services acquired to be used in said pipeline) are not their decision or domain either. There's nothing wrong with CD/CI in principle, it's just that it spirals out of control and becomes bottleneck after bottleneck and "it looks alright" from the higherups perspective because "we are following a process". Also, in the past, when things were more manual and less automated, if you had 2 devops for 100 developers (exaggerating of course) you knew you'd have a bottle neck. Now that everything is automated, it appears that you CAN have 2 devops for 100 developers because "everything is automated with our CD/CI pipeline"... until something doesn't work and then you have two poor bastards trying to get things done as fast as possible.

@@sanguchito7381 yeah, of course. At the end, no matter what processes you follow, there are humans involved and that means that what will matter the most is the company culture. It seems that the struggles that you mention come from some misalignments that only people can resolve, not processes.

At my company, we've been (for better or worse) encouraged to adopt nearly the full CI/CD process as part of our scope. Part of building our tool is creating our pipelines, or if we're on the cloud, using terraform to define our architecture.

They use aftereffects.

I believe he has a team behind it 😋

Did you hear something? Must've been the wind

Nice take 😂

@@konrness Actually Premiere Pro is for editing. For animation you should use After Effects.

@@ARmy2510 Adobe Animate is used for 2D animations like these.

​@@mallipooalwa9085 Not everything. Intro itself is a pure AE. Well, all I see here is After Effects :D

Ok, Does it mean not lot of companies are doing automated deployment when it comes to production deployments?

@@rajr5936 all depends on the size. If it's a large scale distributed system, it's probably fully automated with clusters and everything. But i've worked on a few highly sensitive systems and it was usually 80% manual and 20% automated. We never got to fully automate it...

@@fronix5060 ok if it's not automated who performs these tasks manually? Still devops eng?

some Adobe Premiere issue that was not caught with the automatic deployment of this video

A lot of web app shops use CI/CD, or at least CI as he says.

@@peterstedman6140 Thank you for the explanation.

Okay. Will these jobs still required manually?

Exactly. It's a revolution tool.

Nice catch man!

CI/C ;)))
