Implementation patterns range from client-side scripts and SDKs to server-side pipelines. Common approaches use libraries like
Use cases include continuous integration workflows that select build matrices based on branch; development environments that
Benefits include improved consistency between code and tooling, better determinism for builds, and reduced drift between
