Daily Term: Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment (CD) is a practice where every code change that passes automated tests is automatically deployed to production without manual intervention. For example, a web app might use a CD pipeline in CircleCI to deploy updates to AWS after tests pass. CD accelerates delivery and ensures consistency, but it demands rigorous testing, monitoring, and rollback mechanisms to handle potential issues in production.
