> A full multi-stage CI/CD integration pipeline from a devs machine, into what became known as diamant build, would take about a day, assuming all in-between-stages were green on first build. A day is indeed a bit on the long side, but CICD was never a synonym for instantaneous. Let's put things into perspective: staged deployments, or simple blue/green deployments, do require a baking period to verify if a new deployment leads to alarms going off. Depending on how you phase your deployment, that last stage alone can take hours. and that's deployment alone. If we look into it, unit tests barely register in the time that it takes a commit to go from git push to the client starting to use the feature/bugfix. I've worked on webapps deployed globally where unit tests took far less time to run than the baking time of a single deployment stage.
