Continuous Delivery (CD) is one of the most important modern software practices. Grokking Continuous Delivery breaks down CD into simple, visual explanations that even non-engineers can understand.
What Is Continuous Delivery?
CD ensures your software is:
- Always testable
- Always deployable
- Always ready for release
The book describes a pipeline with stages such as Build, Publish, and Deploy.
Why CD Matters
CD reduces:
- Testing delays
- Release-time errors
- Deployment failures
And it increases:
- Productivity
- Code quality
- Speed of innovation
Real-World Example
The “Cat Picture Website” example demonstrates how CD pipelines work step-by-step. Developers can push code multiple times a day without breaking production.
Final Thoughts
If you’re building apps, websites, or digital products, CD makes your development process faster and more reliable.
