Pipeline

A pipeline goal is to orchestrate an entire workflow. It can go from the test and build of a source code, until production deployment. Going through notification, creation of the target infrastructure, and all others steps you could imagine.

When you create a project from a stack, the template of the pipeline is read from the stack source code by Cycloid to create a running pipeline.

It's important to understand the difference between a pipeline template and a running pipeline.

The template of a pipeline is contained in the stack repository. This template is used only when you create an environment. Which means, if you edit the pipeline using the Dashboard, you actually edit the running pipeline created from the template. Not the template itself.

Which also means, updating the template will not update the running pipelines that you have already created. See Refresh pipeline section to refresh your running pipeline using the latest version of the template.

Important

Make sure to always keep in mind the difference between running pipeline and pipeline template described above.
