    This white paper from Octopus Deploy provides a comprehensive guide to mapping and improving deployment pipelines for achieving Continuous Delivery. It explains Continuous Delivery’s core principles and benefits, emphasizing its role in increasing deployment frequency and reducing risk.

    Establish a basic deployment pipeline with stages like commit, build, acceptance, and production while highlighting the importance of automation and monitoring. Discover the cultural factors influencing DevOps’ success and find strategies for identifying and overcoming constraints to optimize the software delivery process.

    Research has shown that these external approvals actually slow down deployments, increase lead times, and don’t even improve quality or reduce failure rates. In fact, they often have the opposite effect.

    Tackles the subject of measuring software delivery in organizations based on the white paper Measuring Continuous Delivery and DevOps. Relevant to teams using Agile, Lean, Continuous Delivery, and DevOps.

    Delves into leading and lagging indicators, qualitative and quantitative metrics and more. Takles some common dead ends and things to keep in mind when choosing metrics.

    “Data! We love it. In software it’s the key to making smart moves. Sometimes it feels like we’re measuring everything except the stuff that makes a difference.”

    We get immersed in the 2024 state of CI/CD report, commissioned by the CD Foundation and authored by SlashData.

    Find out the state of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery and how things have changed and evolved.

    “The latest data really confirms that there’s a strong correlation between speed and stability. Developers who struggle with lead time […] are also very likely to struggle with restoring service when things go wrong.”

    We dive into the white paper, The Importance of Continuous Delivery by Steve Fenton, published by Octopus.

    Find out why Continuous Delivery (CD) is the best way to deliver software that we know of right now.

    “Implementing Continuous Delivery isn’t just a flip of a switch, it’s a journey. The key is to start small, focus on those quick wins, and build momentum from there.”
