About Drone
[Drone](https://www.drone.io/) is a self-service [CI/CD](/docs/astro/ci-cd) platform with easy to write configuration-as-code syntax. It automates any data pipeline deployment workflows, including code reviews, branch management, and pipeline testing. Drone is a popular choice for managing the deployment of [Airflow DAGs](/docs/learn/dags), and it integrates seamlessly with Astro.
Use Case
Deploying pipelines with CI/CD allows teams to iterate quickly and catch errors before they make it to production. Use the easy setup of Drone CI/CD pipelines on Astro to decrease code maintenance and enforce continuous, automated testing.
