@microscopic-river-74022 Can garden offload the CI part in general?

---------------------- Garden is not intended to replace traditional CI systems. In fact, the most common use-case for Garden is to use it within CI pipelines. Garden can automate the process of building, deploying, and testing a graph of components, which can greatly simplify tasks within CI pipelines. For example, it can help in creating ephemeral environments for every pull request, deploying to a staging environment on merges to the main branch, and running test suites involving one or more runtime components. However, Garden does not offload the CI part entirely. It's designed to work in conjunction with CI systems to streamline and simplify the process. It can reduce the amount of YAML in CI pipeline definitions, as deploying an environment or running a test suite can be done with simple commands like

garden deploy

or

garden test

. Developers and DevOps engineers can also run Garden from their development machines to reproduce anything that goes wrong in CI, eliminating the need to repeatedly re-trigger pipelines to see if a fix works. For more information, you can refer to the Garden documentation (). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
