+# CI/CD Pipeline
+
+This repository includes GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing and building.
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Test Workflow (`.github/workflows/test.yml`)
+- **Trigger**: Push/PR to main/master branches
+- **Purpose**: Run Jest-based end-to-end tests
+- **Steps**:
+  1. Build the C++ Redis server
+  2. Install Node.js dependencies
+  3. Run Jest tests with timeout protection
+
+### Build and Release Workflow (`.github/workflows/build.yml`)
+- **Trigger**: 
+  - Push/PR to main/master branches (build only)
+  - Git tags starting with 'v' (build + release)
+- **Purpose**: Build the C++ server and create releases
+- **Steps**:
+  1. Build the Redis server binary
+  2. Upload build artifacts
+  3. Create GitHub release (only for tagged versions)
+
+## Running Tests Locally
+
+### Prerequisites
+```bash
+# Install Node.js dependencies for tests
+cd tests
+npm install
+
+# Build the server
+mkdir -p build
+g++ -std=c++23 src/*.cpp -o build/server -pthread
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+cd tests
+npm test
+```
+
+## Creating Releases
+
+To create a new release:
+1. Create and push a git tag with version format:
+   ```bash
+   git tag v1.0.0
+   git push origin v1.0.0
+   ```
+2. The GitHub Actions will automatically build and create a release with the binary
+
+## Build Requirements
+
+- GCC with C++23 support
+- pthread library
+- Node.js 18+ (for tests)

+# CI/CD Pipeline Implementation Summary
+
+## ✅ Completed Requirements
+
+### 1. Create a workflow for testing using npm jest
+**File**: `.github/workflows/test.yml`
+
+**Features:**
+- Triggers on push/PR to main/master branches
+- Builds the C++ Redis server using g++ (C++23 standard)
+- Sets up Node.js 18 environment with dependency caching
+- Installs Jest test dependencies with `npm ci`
+- Runs Jest tests with timeout protection (300s) to prevent CI hangs
+- Uses `--runInBand` for reliable test execution
+
+### 2. Create a workflow for release a build
+**File**: `.github/workflows/build.yml`
+
+**Features:**
+- Triggers on push/PR to main/master (build only)
+- Triggers on git tags starting with 'v' (build + release)
+- Compiles C++ server with optimized g++ compilation
+- Uploads build artifacts for every successful build
+- Creates GitHub releases with downloadable binaries for tagged versions
+- Uses modern GitHub Actions (softprops/action-gh-release@v2)
+
+## 🛠️ Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Build System
+- **Original**: CMake with vcpkg dependencies (complex, unreliable in CI)
+- **Solution**: Direct g++ compilation with C++23 and pthread support
+- **Command**: `g++ -std=c++23 src/*.cpp -o build/server -pthread`
+
+### Test Strategy
+- **Framework**: Jest (JavaScript/Node.js) for end-to-end testing
+- **Server Integration**: Tests spawn the compiled C++ server binary
+- **Reliability**: Added timeout protection to prevent infinite waits
+
+### Release Process
+- **Automatic**: Tag with `v*` pattern triggers release creation
+- **Artifacts**: Linux x64 binary included in release
+- **Versioning**: Uses git tag name for release naming
+
+## 📝 Documentation
+- **Setup Guide**: `.github/workflows/README.md`
+- **Local Testing**: Instructions for running tests locally
+- **Release Process**: How to create new releases via git tags
+
+## 🔧 Usage
+
+### Running Tests Locally
+```bash
+# Build server
+mkdir -p build
+g++ -std=c++23 src/*.cpp -o build/server -pthread
+
+# Install and run tests
+cd tests
+npm install
+npm test
+```
+
+### Creating a Release
+```bash
+git tag v1.0.0
+git push origin v1.0.0
+# GitHub Actions will automatically create release with binary
+```
+
+## ✨ Benefits
+- **Automated Testing**: Every PR/push gets tested automatically
+- **Reliable Builds**: Simple compilation process works consistently
+- **Easy Releases**: One git tag command creates a full release
+- **Artifact Storage**: Build outputs preserved for debugging
+- **Documentation**: Clear instructions for contributors
