Build Automation

Summary

Automatically compiling, packaging, and preparing code for deployment as part of a pipeline — removing manual, error-prone build steps from the release process entirely.

• 1Automate a build step (e.g. installing dependencies, compiling code) inside a CI pipeline.
• 2Learn why build reproducibility (locking dependency versions) matters for reliable pipelines.
• 3Practice caching dependencies in a pipeline to speed up repeated builds.
