7 reasons why you should be using Continuous Integration

What this post added

This post outlines the fundamental benefits of Continuous Integration (CI) for software development. It details seven key reasons to adopt CI: running tests in a real-world environment to catch discrepancies, increasing code coverage by highlighting untested code, enabling continuous deployment to production, automating build and compilation processes, accelerating builds through parallelization, preventing regressions by testing before merging, and decreasing code review time by providing merge readiness indicators. It also promotes GitLab CI as a solution that incorporates these features.
