How to Set Up CI/CD for a CMS Project
AdvancedQuick Answer
TL;DR
Setting up CI/CD for a content management system project means automating the build, test, and deployment of both your frontend application and your CMS configuration. Your CI pipeline should run schema validation, type checking, and tests on every commit. Your CD pipeline should deploy the CMS Studio and frontend automatically when changes merge. Webhooks handle content-triggered rebuilds when editors publish.
Key Takeaways
- Run linting, type checking, schema validation, and tests in CI on every commit
- Deploy your CMS Studio and frontend automatically on merge to main
- Use webhooks to trigger frontend rebuilds when content is published
- Maintain separate staging, preview, and production environments
- Store CMS API tokens and project IDs as CI/CD secrets, never in source code
