CI/CD Platform Engineering

A book-shaped table of contents for CI/CD platform engineering: pipeline foundations, build/artifact/delivery platforms, GitHub Actions end to end (workflow mechanics through enterprise governance), Argo Workflows, Tekton, Jenkins, release engineering, platform security, observability, reliability, enterprise governance, and MAANG interview preparation — cross-linking existing tech/kubernetes/platform-engineering-fundamentals/system-design notes instead of duplicating them.

1 — The Evolution of Software Delivery

Traces the path from manual, ticket-driven releases through DevOps automation to platform-engineered software factories that treat delivery itself as a product.

3 — CI/CD Platform Architecture

Lays out the seven-layer reference architecture — developer, source control, build, artifact, deployment, runtime, and feedback — that the rest of the book is organized around.

4 — Platform Maturity Model

Defines a five-stage maturity curve from manual delivery to autonomous delivery, used throughout the book to benchmark platform capability.

8 — Matrix Builds

Explains matrix strategy fan-out, dynamic matrices computed at runtime, include/exclude overrides, and common OS and language matrix patterns.
