+
+You have a CI pipeline in your project.
+
+Every time you push a commit, the CI pipeline runs and performs its checks.
+
+It runs the automated tests and verifies they pass, statically analyses the code to identify any issues and validates the code follows the correct coding style and standards.
+
+Everything passes.
+
+## What next?
+
+If the pipeline passes, your change is deployable.
+
+So, why not extend the pipeline to deploy the change once the checks pass?
+
+If the checks don't pass, don't deploy.
+
+It could be as simple as pushing the code to an S3 bucket, a separate Git branch or repository for managing deployments, or creating an artifact like a Docker image.
+
+Instead of waiting for someone to do this manually, remove a step and automate it within the pipeline.
+
+The sooner it's deployed, the sooner it provides value for your application's users.
