Chapter 1. Introducing Continuous Delivery

A common problem faced by most developers is how to release the implemented code quickly and safely. The delivery process used traditionally is a source of pitfalls and usually leads to the disappointment of both developers and clients.

This chapter covers the following points:

  • Understanding CD
  • The automated deployment pipeline
  • Prerequisites to CD
  • Building the CD process
  • Creating a complete CD system
