Continuous Deployment

What is Continuous Deployment?

Continuous deployment is a process within software development in which changes to the code are automatically deployed to the production environment. In contrast to Continuous Delivery, where deployment is triggered manually, Continuous Deployment publishes new features or updates fully automatically. This enables rapid and continuous improvement of the software.

Advantages and use in practice

Continuous deployment minimizes time-to-market and enables rapid adaptation to customer requirements. Automation reduces the likelihood of human error and allows developers to focus on creating new features. This method is primarily used in agile teams and DevOps environments that rely on short development cycles and fast iterations.
