Continuous Delivery & Deployment
Automating Software Release and Deployment is crucial for modern businesses, allowing rapid responses to market demands.
Understanding Continuous Delivery and Deployment involves streamlining the entire process from development to production, minimizing delays and maximizing efficiency.
New Version Alongside Old, Route Small % (e.g., 5%) to New Version, Mo
A low-risk approach involves deploying a new version alongside the old one, directing only a small percentage of traffic (e.g., 5%) towards it.
This strategy reduces potential impact in case of issues, enables early problem detection, and facilitates a gradual rollback if necessary.
DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) Metrics Measure DevOps Performance
DORA metrics – including lead time for code changes, mean time to recovery (MTTR), and change failure rate – provide valuable insights into a team's operational efficiency.
Elite performers consistently demonstrate rapid deployment cycles (deploying multiple times per day), short lead times (<1 hour), and quick MTTR (<1 hour), minimizing downtime.
