CircleCI
Brief
CircleCI is a popular continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platform used by software development teams to automate the building, testing, and deployment of their applications. It provides a seamless and efficient workflow for developers, allowing them to focus on writing code rather than managing complex build and deployment processes.
