# Continuous Integration (CI)
One of the advantages of Evennia over traditional MU* development systems is that Evennia can integrate into enterprise-level integration environments and source control.
[Continuous Integration (CI)](https://www.thoughtworks.com/continuous-integration) is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect problems early. This can be set up to safely deploy data to a production server only after tests have passed, for example.
For Evennia, continuous integration allows an automated build process to:
* Pull down a latest build from Source Control.
* Run migrations on the backing SQL database.
* Automate additional unique tasks for that project.
* Run unit tests.
* Publish those files to the server directory
* Reload the game.
