🔄

Definition

Continuous Deployment, or Continuous Delivery, is a software engineering approach where code changes are automatically released to the production environment through a series of automated tests.

🛠️

Process

New code changes go through a test and inspection pipeline, and if they are approved, are directly deployed to the production environment.

🚀

Benefits

Continuous deployment accelerates the delivery of software, reduces the time to market for new features, and allows for faster feedback cycles.

🐞

Correction

Frequent deployments facilitate the finding and fixing of bugs, as bugs are more recent and easier to trace.
