Continuous Delivery

Summary #

Continuous delivery is a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for a release to production. It expands upon continuous integration by deploying all code changes to a testing environment and/or a production environment after the build stage. When continuous delivery is implemented properly, developers will always have a deployment-ready build artifact that has passed through a standardized test process.

Continuous Delivery vs Continuous Deployment #

ref Simply put, Continuous Delivery focuses on ensuring software is always release-ready with manual approval, while Continuous Deployment automates the release process, deploying changes to production automatically once tests pass.
