Concepts & Practices

6 entries

Continuous deployment releases every change that passes the automated pipeline to production, without a manual gate. It depends on strong automated testing, observability and safe rollout techniques such as canary releases, blue-green deployments and feature flags.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is continuous deployment?

The practice of automatically releasing every change that passes the pipeline to production, without a manual approval step.

Is continuous deployment safe?

It is safe when paired with strong automated tests, monitoring, and progressive rollout with fast rollback; feature flags separate deploying code from exposing it to users.

What is progressive delivery?

Releasing to a small share of traffic first (canary), or switching between two environments (blue-green), and widening the rollout as metrics stay healthy; Argo Rollouts and Flagger automate this on Kubernetes.

Do I need continuous deployment?

Not always. Many teams practise continuous delivery and keep a deliberate release decision; see the Continuous Delivery Tools page.
