Continuous Delivery Trends

CI/CD: Mission Critical?

CI/CD, if implemented well, can radically reduce the software development lifecycle while maintaining quality standards. How can this not be a competitive advantage?

CI/CD also signals a culture change. When integrated into the DevOps approach, it breaks down the silos between Operations and Development teams. Another critical step forward.

This month, we explore the latest trends and ideas around continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment.

Here is our monthly curated list of thought-provoking articles, blog posts, and videos on CI/CD:
