Learn the Benefits, Challenges, and Common Practices We live in an era of breathtaking and relentless change, driven by software innovation. Software is more strategic and critical than ever, leading to tremendous pressure to compress release cycle times. In response, the practice of Continous Delivery uses automation, tight version control, and collaboration to speed software changes through the deployment pipeline into production. As Continuous Delivery adoption accelerates, DevOps teams must find ways to mitigate the risk of releasing defective code into production environments. Introducing Progressive Delivery Progressive Delivery extends Continuous Delivery by enabling more control over feature delivery. The process uses feature flagging to deploy features to a subset of users, then evaluates key metrics before rolling out to more users or rolling back if there are issues.
