Code Pipeline

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. The automated path that code changes follow from commit through validation, packaging, and deployment, often including checks, approvals, and environment promotion. A good code pipeline makes releases repeatable and observable instead of depending on tribal knowledge and manual steps.

    In plain English: The automated sequence that code changes move through on the way to release.

    Example: "The monorepo's code pipeline ran unit tests, contract checks, bundle generation, and a staging deploy before allowing a production promotion."
