Pipelines are a way of automating how different components are deployed to the downstream [[environment]]s.
Both Azure DevOps and GitHub (where they are called Actions) provide the functionality of pipelines to achieve higher automation within a given project.
See the page [[How to setup Power Platform related pipelines]]
== Types ==
There are 2 different types of Pipelines within Azure DevOps:
=== Build Pipelines (aka Pipelines) ===
Build pipelines are used to build your source code and create/package releasable artefacts.
Another use case for Build pipelines would be to test your code before a Pull Request is allowed to be merged (as a Quality Gate). See Community Resources for more information.
=== Release Pipelines (aka Release) ===
A Release Pipeline takes artefacts, created by a build(s) pipeline, and deploys them to the downstream [[environment]]s.
== Triggers ==
Pipelines could be started with various triggers or on various occasions. Some examples are:
* Manual
* Scheduled
* When a preceding pipeline is ready
* When different events happen in Azure DevOps or other applications
** Pull Request gets merged
** Commit to repo
== Components ==
Within a pipeline one could basically deploy any component they desire (as long as Azure DevOps can reach the destination).
In most Power Platform projects those are
* Dynamics 365/Power Platform Solution
* Azure Components
** Azure functions
** Logic Apps
** Web Jobs
** and more
