What you'll learn

As CI/CD pipelines grow in complexity, engineers struggle with duplicated configuration, unreliable job sequencing, and difficulty maintaining consistency across repositories. In this course, CircleCI Advanced Configuration, you'll gain the ability to design production-grade pipelines that scale with your organization. First, you'll explore multi-stage workflow orchestration using job dependencies, fan-out/fan-in patterns, and branch/tag filters. Next, you'll discover how to implement configuration reuse strategies using pipeline parameters, command definitions, and executor abstractions to eliminate YAML duplication. Finally, you'll learn how to integrate certified Orbs from the CircleCI Registry to rapidly deploy common functions like Slack notifications, AWS deployments, and Azure integrations—while understanding the path to creating custom Orbs for your organization. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of advanced CircleCI configuration needed to architect maintainable, scalable CI/CD pipelines for enterprise development teams.
