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.

5 — GitHub Actions: Performance Engineering

Covers k6-based load testing, benchmarking, and automated performance regression detection inside a pipeline.

1 — CI Architecture

Covers event-driven CI triggering, pipeline orchestration, fan-in/fan-out pipeline shapes, and matrix builds as the architectural patterns behind a CI platform.

2 — Automated Testing Platform

Surveys the automated test pyramid a CI platform must support — unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, and performance tests — and how each shapes pipeline design.

4 — Security in CI

Covers secret detection, SAST, dependency scanning, container scanning, and license compliance as the security gates built into the CI stage.
