CI/CD is easy to describe as “automation that deploys code,” but the more valuable part comes earlier: it creates a repeatable way to catch a mistake before it becomes somebody else’s problem.

For Ledgerlane, the workflow is split into two gates. Continuous integration runs on every pull request and on pushes to main and staging. Deployment is a separate workflow, with staging deploying from its branch and public environments requiring a deliberate manual release from main.
