GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Structure

Understanding the core components of GitLab pipelines

Pipeline Stages

Build

Compile code, install dependencies

Test

Run unit & integration tests

Security

SAST, DAST, dependency scanning

Package

Build containers, artifacts

Deploy

Release to environments

Key CI/CD Concepts

Jobs

Individual tasks that run scripts. Jobs in the same stage run in parallel.

Parallelizable

Stages

Groups of jobs that run sequentially. All jobs in a stage must complete before the next stage starts.

Sequential

Runners

Agents that execute jobs. Can be shared, group-specific, or project-specific.

Execution Environment

Artifacts

Files generated by jobs that can be downloaded or passed to subsequent stages.

Build Outputs

Best Practices

Fast Feedback

Run quick tests early in pipeline
Use parallel jobs where possible
Cache dependencies between runs
Fail fast on critical errors

Reliability

Use specific image versions, not :latest
Implement retry logic for flaky tests
Version lock your dependencies
Test pipeline changes in feature branches

Security

Never commit secrets to .gitlab-ci.yml
Use CI/CD variables for sensitive data
Enable secret detection scanning
Implement least privilege for runners

Maintainability

Use templates for reusable components
Keep pipeline configuration DRY
Document complex pipeline logic
Regular review and cleanup of old jobs
