# CI/CD
## Core Principles
1. **Pipeline as code** — YAML pipelines committed to the repo. No click-ops in the UI.
2. **Fast feedback** — Build and test on every push. Cache NuGet packages. Fail fast.
3. **Build once, deploy many** — Build the artifact once, promote it through environments (dev → staging → production).
4. **Never skip tests** — Tests gate the pipeline. No deployment without passing tests.
## Patterns
### GitHub Actions — Build + Test
