How to Build Scalable CI/CD Pipelines: Best Practices for 2025

## ### Challenges in Setting Up CI CD Pipelines Setting up CI CD pipelines can be difficult, especially in complex environments, despite the numerous benefits they offer. Here are some common challenges that development teams face: … ### Test Flakiness Flaky tests, which pass or fail randomly, are a major issue in CI/CD workflows. These tests fail occasionally due to inconsistencies across several environments (e.g., development, testing, and production). Flaky tests slow down your CI CD workflow and reduce confidence in testing methods. Because you cannot depend on erratic test results, you can't tell if a successful test run implies your code is bug-free or if you should spend time attempting to replicate and repair a problem when tests fail.
