Understanding Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment

Continuous Delivery (CD)

Continuous Delivery (CD) is a software development practice where code changes are automatically prepared for release to production. It involves rigorous automated testing to ensure that changes are stable and ready for deployment.

Continuous Deployment (CD)

Continuous Deployment is an extension of Continuous Delivery where every code change that passes automated tests is automatically deployed to production, ensuring rapid and reliable delivery of new features and updates.

Benefits

Benefits of CD include faster time-to-market, improved product quality, and reduced risk of deployment errors through automation.
