Methods of delivering software are constantly evolving in order to increase speed to market without sacrificing reliability and stability. Mastering development end to end, from version control to production, and building production-ready code is now more important than ever. Continuous deployment takes it one step further. This method for delivering software automates the final step to production and enables faster feedback and safer releases. Based on years of work with medium to large organizations at Thoughtworks, author Valentina Servile explains how to perform safe and reliable deployments with no manual gate to production. You'll learn a framework to perform incremental, safe releases during everyday development work, structured exclusively around the challenges of continuous deployment in nontrivial, distributed systems. Complete with interviews and case studies from fellow industry professionals. In the past couple of decades, we have seen a number of practices showcasing how speed and reliability actually go hand in hand when it comes to delivering software. DevOps, eXtreme Programming (XP), continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD): these practices have demonstrated again and again how shorter iterations improve the stability of production systems, rather than hindering it. This is because shorter iterations reduce the size of changes in each release, foster communication across roles, encourage a culture of automation, and allow for early and continuous feedback. Overall, shorter iterations and frequent deployments improve software’s stability and quality. I wrote this book for fellow software industry professionals, and especially for software engineers who see value in improving their code’s path to production.
