# Welcome to Woodpecker # Welcome to Woodpecker
Woodpecker is a CI/CD tool. It is designed to be lightweight, simple to use and fast. Before we dive into the details, let's have a look at some of the basics. Woodpecker is a CI/CD tool. It is designed to be lightweight (< 200 MB memory consumption), simple to use and fast and can be used with many different Git providers and backends (docker, kubernetes, local).
## Have you ever heard of CI/CD or pipelines? ## The "CI/CD" concept
Don't worry if you haven't. We'll guide you through the basics. CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. It's basically like a conveyor belt that moves your code from development to production doing all kinds of CI/CD stands for "Continuous Integration” and “Continuous Deployment.”
checks, tests and routines along the way. A typical pipeline might include the following steps: It is a streamlined process that moves your code from development to production while performing various checks, tests, and routines along the way.
A standard CI/CD pipeline typically includes steps such as:
1. Running tests 1. Running tests
2. Building your application 2. Building the application
3. Deploying your application 3. Deploying the application
[Have a deeper look into the idea of CI/CD](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/devops/what-is-ci-cd) RedHat has written an [article which explains the concept in more detail](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/devops/what-is-ci-cd).
## Do you know containers? ## Containers at the core
If you are already using containers in your daily workflow, you'll for sure love Woodpecker. If not yet, you'll be amazed how easy it is to get started with [containers](https://opencontainers.org/). In contrast to other CI/CD applications, Woodpecker solely focuses on using containers for executing workflows.
If you are already using containers in your daily workflow, you'll for sure love Woodpecker.
## Already have access to a Woodpecker instance? ## Convinced? Get started by deploying your own Woodpecker instance
Then you might want to jump directly into it and [start creating your first pipelines](../20-usage/10-intro.md). Woodpecker is [pretty lightweight](../30-administration/00-getting-started.md#hardware-requirements) and can even run on a Raspberry Pi without much impact.
To set up your own Woodpecker instance, follow the [deployment guide](../30-administration/00-getting-started.md).
