Ship Faster: Bulletproof CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Actions, Docker, and Automated Testing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196195792)

Automate builds, testing, and deployment with production ready engineering workflows

Modern software teams do not win by deploying less.
They win by deploying safely, consistently, and quickly.

Without reliable pipelines, teams face broken releases, slow feedback loops, and deployment anxiety that slows everything down.

"Ship Faster" is a practical, engineering focused guide to building robust CI and CD systems using GitHub Actions, Docker, and automated testing workflows.

This book teaches you how to design pipelines that help teams move fast without sacrificing reliability.

Why modern delivery pipelines matter

Manual deployments create risk.

Strong CI and CD systems help teams:

• catch bugs before release
• automate testing and validation
• standardize deployment workflows
• reduce deployment failures
• accelerate software delivery

This book shows you how to build pipelines that scale with your team and infrastructure.

What you will learn

• fundamentals of CI and CD workflows
• building automation with GitHub Actions
• containerized workflows with Docker
• automated testing strategies
• deployment pipelines for production systems
• secrets and environment management
• rollback and recovery strategies
• monitoring and pipeline observability
• optimizing build speed and reliability
• scaling pipelines across teams and services

From manual releases to automated delivery

Throughout the book, you will learn how to:

• automate software builds and testing
• design reusable CI and CD workflows
• deploy applications consistently
