Integrating DDD with CI/CD
CI/CD and refactoring are not practices strictly tied to DDD—at least not exclusively! In the early days of software development, practices often borrowed concepts from manufacturing, with methods such as the Waterfall model shaping both large-scale processes and smaller tasks such as integration. In the 1990s, engineers on the C3 project, led by Kent Beck, introduced eXtreme Programming (XP), which emphasized automation and frequent feedback as essential drivers of productivity in software engineering. By the 2000s, these principles extended into the realm of operations, giving rise to DevOps and automating many previously manual tasks. Automation enables teams to move faster and more confidently by providing reliable feedback to prevent unexpected issues. As a result, feedback loops and automation have become cornerstones of modern software development practices.
