Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Delivery (CD) is like baking cookies.
When creating a cookie you build a recipe and go through the process of taste testing the recipe to ensure the cookie you want to cook is just right, not too much butter, salt wasn't used instead of sugar, that kind of thing.
Likewise, with code we run CI to build and test our code making sure it tastes like an API, an app or library to ensure it returns to the user a sugary tasty response that delights, not leaking any data or bugs that tastes salty or buggy...
Once you know you have a beautiful recipe that won't fail to delight, you get into the process of creating it for everyone with a cookie factory. So you get to work baking the cookies from the recipe you've tested, package them and deliver them for customers to enjoy.
With CD, we have a factory (Drone, TravisCI e.t.c.) configured to build our 'code recipe', which may or may not grab some extra ingredients (dependencies), proceeds to mix (compile) and cook (link) the cookies. Once we have a finished cookie, it can get to work packaging them (docker, exe, dmg e.t.c) and deploy/deliver them (docker registry, kubernetes e.t..c) for customers to enjoy.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I always explain it at work like this:
