Book description

Software delivery practices are constantly improving as companies apply the philosophy of continuous delivery to deploy and release changes quickly, safely, and predictably. Most teams, however, hit roadblocks in the process. This report examines 10 organizations that have implemented continuous delivery in the real world. These case studies demonstrate how branching strategy, environment design, release management, and the software delivery lifecycle can have significant impact on your journey toward continuous delivery.

Software engineering managers, senior developers, and architects will explore common approaches that most companies in these case studies found useful. Software delivery expert Pete Hodgson provides actionable ideas for implementing or improving continuous delivery within your own organization, including multiple ways to achieve the same goal.
