Integrating Contentful into a continuous integration pipeline enables changes to a content model and migrating data as part of the deployment process. It also allows for testing content changes and canceling a deploy process, thereby preventing interruptions or downtime. With custom aliases on our Enterprise plan, it’s now possible to create permanent staging, QA and production environments directly in Contentful.
Watch this tutorial from Contentful Developer Evangelist Shy Ruparel and Software Engineer Janko Marklein as they guide you through setting up a CI/CD pipeline using the Contentful migration DSL, environments and custom aliases.
