Pipeline
An automated sequence of steps that moves work from one stage to the next
What's it for?
Runs a repeatable sequence of automatic steps that moves software toward a tested or released result.
For example…
Each code change is automatically tested, built and prepared for release.
A retailer changes its checkout page; before customers see the change, an automated process checks that the new version works and then puts it onto the test website
Think of it like…
Factory line with stations: each change rides the belt through the same checks
