流水线即代码 技术强调，用于构建、测试和部署我们应用程序或基础设施的交付流水线配置，都应以代码形式展现。这些代码应置于版本控制系统中，并切分成包含自动化测试和部署的可复用组件。随着组织逐渐演变为构建微服务或微前端的去中心化自治团队，人们越来越需要以代码形式管理流水线这种工程实践，来保证组织内部构建和部署软件的一致性。这种需求使得业界出现了很多交付流水线模板和工具，它们可以以标准的方式构建、部署服务和应用。这些工具用大多采用声明式交付流水线的形式，采用一个流水线蓝图，来执行一个交付生命周期中不同阶段的任务，如构建、测试和部署，而不用关心实现细节。以代码形式来完成构建、测试和部署流水线的能力，应该成为选择CI/CD工具的评估标准之一。
Teams are pushing for automation across their environments(testing), including their development infrastructure. Pipelines as code is defining the deployment pipeline through code instead of configuring a running CI/CD tool. LambdaCD, Drone, GoCD and Concourse are examples that allow usage of this technique. Also, configuration automation tools for CI/CD systems like GoMatic can be used to treat the deployment pipeline as code—versioned and tested.
