They treat the pipeline as a deployment automation tool — a mechanism for running tests and pushing artifacts to production. The tests pass, the deploy runs, work is done.</p> <p>This framing misses the fundamental value of continuous integration and continuous delivery: <strong>compressing the feedback loop between writing code and understanding its consequences</strong>.</p> <p>The faster that loop runs, the faster defects are caught, the smaller the blast radius of errors, and the more confidence engineers have when deploying. Everything else follows from this.</p>
