Continuous integration (CI) is a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and validated in a secure and scalable environment. This presentation provides an overview of the CI ecosystem, essential features to consider in a CI product, and usage patterns observed in the wild. We will discuss the benefits of CI and how it can improve the development process by providing fast feedback, reducing errors, and enabling collaboration.

In addition to an overview of the current state of CI, this presentation will also cover trends and predictions for the future of this space. We will discuss the rise of cloud-based CI solutions, the increasing importance of security and compliance, and the growing demand for CI tools that are easy to use and integrate with other tools and services.

By the end of this presentation, attendees will have a solid understanding of the CI ecosystem and the key features and trends to watch in the coming years. They will also have the knowledge and tools to evaluate and select a CI solution that meets their needs and goals.
