State diagram showing CI/CD pipeline lifecycle from Triggered through Lint & Test, Manual Approval, Deploying, Deployed, and Rolled Back states.

What it shows

  • Fail early: reject lint and unit failures before provisioning cloud stages.
  • Require explicit sign-off gates between staging verification and production.
  • Automate instant rollback on synthetic health check failures post-deploy.

The takeaway

Deterministic CI/CD states turn releases from risky bets into boring, repeatable routines.
