Many of the challenges developers run into with Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines stem from the fact that CI is siloed from the rest of the development process. Development environments use a completely separate (and often pared-down) configuration compared to CI, which builds, tests, and deploys in a more production-like setting.

First, the discrepancy between development and CI environments leads to hard-to-predict errors in CI.

Garden will know that in order to run integration tests for Service A, Service B also has to be running and up-to-date.

It’s also easy for Garden to spin up a working preview environment of your application with every CI run, which can be used during the QA and review process.
