<p>Your CI pipeline runs tests. It lints your code. Maybe it builds a Docker image. But between "all tests pass" and "production is broken," there's a gap most teams don't realize exists.</p>

<p>Standard CI/CD pipelines catch implementation bugs they don't catch <em>contract</em> bugs, <em>data</em> bugs, <em>infrastructure</em> bugs, or <em>configuration</em> bugs. These four categories cause some of the most expensive production incidents:</p>
<p>Standard CI/CD pipelines catch implementation bugs — they don't catch <em>contract</em> bugs, <em>data</em> bugs, <em>infrastructure</em> bugs, or <em>configuration</em> bugs. These four categories cause some of the most expensive production incidents:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>12%</strong> of production outages are caused by API contract violations (consumers using fields you removed)</li>
<li><strong>23%</strong> of security incidents involve SQL injection or misconfigured database access</li>
<li><strong>15–20%</strong> of infrastructure changes cause unexpected resource modification or deletion</li>
<li><strong>15–20%</strong> of infrastructure changes cause unexpected resource modification or deletion</li>
<li><strong>30%</strong> of compliance failures trace back to undetected configuration drift across environments</li>
</ul>

<p>The DevForge CLI tools plug these exact gaps. Here's a practical CI pipeline you can add to any repo in minutes.</p>
