Chapter 1: Introducing Continuous Delivery
A common problem that's faced by most developers is how to release the implemented code quickly and safely. The delivery process that's traditionally used is a source of pitfalls and usually leads to the disappointment of both developers and clients. This chapter will present the idea of the continuous delivery (CD) approach and provide the context for the rest of this book.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding CD
- The automated deployment pipeline
- Prerequisites to CD
- Combining CD and microservices
- Building the CD process
