Continuous Deployment

• CD is a step up from Continuous Delivery in which every change in the source code is deployed to production automatically, without explicit approval from a developer. A developer’s job typically ends at reviewing a pull request from a teammate and merging it to the master branch
• A CI/CD service takes over from there by running all tests and deploying the code to production, while keeping the team informed about outcome of every important event
• CD requires a highly developed culture of monitoring, being on call, and having the capacity to recover quickly
