Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest’s YAML pipeline builds on every PR, runs unit tests, then deploys to a staging slot on main-branch merges.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
