# Building a CI/CD pipeline

Clients often integrate MetalSoft with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, ) to perform automatic deployments.

The most common method for doing the integration is via the MetalSoft Terraform provider but other methods (via the [API](getting_started_with_the_api) or the [CLI](/content/overview/installation/using_the_cli)) are also possible.
