Continuous Deployment
Definition
Continuous Deployment is the practice of automatically releasing every validated code change to production once it passes all pipeline checks.
Why it Matters
Continuous Deployment enables teams to:
- Ship faster with less manual overhead.
- Reduce batch size and release risk.
- Get customer feedback sooner.
How to Use It
- Enforce strong automated testing and quality gates.
- Use progressive rollout strategies (canary, feature flags).
- Monitor production signals and rollback paths continuously.
