What's in this template
4 connected components you can rename, recolor, and extend with AI.
A CI/CD pipeline diagram maps the automated path code takes from a developer commit to production. It shows source control triggers, a build step that compiles and packages artifacts, automated test suites, a registry that stores container images, and the deploy stages that ship to staging and production. Arrows make the gates and feedback loops between each stage explicit.
Platform engineers, DevOps teams, and backend developers reach for this diagram to document delivery flow, onboard new engineers, and debug failing builds. It anchors architecture reviews, runbooks, and continuous delivery docs for teams running GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
Great for
- Engineering onboarding docs
- Architecture review decks
- DevOps runbooks
- Release process documentation
- Incident postmortems

How to customize this template
- Open it in the canvas with Use this template.
- Add environments and approval gates as their own nodes, such as Staging, Manual Approval and Production, so reviewers can see where a release can stop.
- Include the rollback path. A pipeline that only moves forward hides the step that matters most during an incident.
- Label cloud components with their region, availability zone and public or private subnet, since placement decides what fails together.
- Show where secrets come from, such as a secrets manager or sealed secrets, instead of leaving credentials implicit.
- Export a PNG or SVG for docs and slides, or a GIF or MP4 to keep the animation.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CI/CD pipeline?+
A CI/CD pipeline is an automated workflow that builds, tests, and deploys code every time a change is committed, removing manual steps from software delivery.
What are the stages of a CI/CD pipeline?+
Typical stages are source/commit, build, automated test, artifact storage, and deploy to staging then production, often with manual approval gates between environments.
What is the difference between CI and CD?+
Continuous Integration focuses on merging and testing code frequently, while Continuous Delivery/Deployment automates releasing that tested code to environments.
Which tools run CI/CD pipelines?+
Common tools include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Argo CD, often paired with a container registry like Docker Hub or ECR.
