Cicd Expert

This one handles the full CI/CD stack with working examples for GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and GitLab CI. You get actual workflow files for testing, Docker builds, and multi-environment deployments, plus reusable workflows and composite actions that you can drop into your repos. It covers the practical stuff like matrix builds, caching strategies, security scanning with Trivy, and deployment patterns including blue-green and canary releases. The examples show real integration with AWS ECS, Slack notifications, and proper secret management. Solid if you're setting up pipelines from scratch or trying to standardize across teams.
