https://technilix.com/devsecops-aiops-mlops-master-certificated-course/The pipeline was fast. Too fast.
A configuration change passed basic checks, skipped proper validation, and was deployed everywhere at once. Within minutes, services started failing, alerts exploded, and users felt the impact. Automation didn’t fail — it amplified a small mistake into a large outage.
That incident forced a hard reset on how we design CI/CD. Pipelines aren’t just delivery engines; they are production safety systems. Mature pipelines include contract testing, policy enforcement, security scanning, progressive rollouts, feature flags, and automated rollback tied directly to monitoring signals. When pipelines are built to fail safely, teams can move fast without fear.
The lesson was painful but clear: speed without control is downtime at scale.
