The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Lao Tzu

Continuous Delivery (CD)

An approach in which teams ensure that every change to the system is releasable, and that we can release any version at the push of a button.

• Faster reaction times • Reduced Risk • Exposed inefficiencies and costs • Flexible release options

It doesn't matter how fast we churn out releases of quality software if they are not being released into production with a similar velocity.

Peluche™ Delivery

• Manual Tests • Manual/semi-scripted steps/Playbooks • Specialized skills (SysAdmin/Administrator) • Shared Infrastructure • “Holy Cow Environments” - Can’t touch them!

Who is it for?

CD is not the exclusive domain of "unicorn" companies and tech darlings.

Every team – from the humblest start-up to the stodgiest enterprise – can and should practice continuous delivery.
