Continuous Deployment: Shipping Code on Every Commit
Continuous Deployment isn't just automation; it's shipping every merged change to production automatically. It's for teams with high test coverage and robust monitoring to reduce lead time.
Continuous Deployment treats the main branch as a live production release queue. Every merged commit that passes the automated test suite is automatically deployed to all users, no human intervention required. This is for teams with elite testing and monitoring to eliminate the 'release day' ceremony. The biggest mistake is confusing it with Continuous Delivery, which automates up to a manual 'go' button for production; Continuous Deployment removes that button entirely.
