Description on the Minimums

Essential continuous delivery practices for software teams. Learn trunk-based development, continuous integration, deployment pipelines, and testing strategies to improve delivery speed and quality.

Continuous integration requires daily code integration to trunk with automated testing. Learn CI best practices, testing strategies, and team workflows that improve software quality and delivery speed.

Only Path to Any Environment

All deployments must go through a single automated pipeline. Learn why using one deployment path for all environments improves reliability, security, and continuous delivery practices.

Deterministic Pipeline

Deterministic pipelines produce consistent results for the same inputs. Learn how to build reliable CI/CD pipelines with locked dependencies and reproducible builds for continuous delivery.

Definition of Deployable

Define clear deployment standards with automated quality gates. Learn how to establish your definition of deployable with security, testing, and compliance checks in your CI/CD pipeline.

Immutable Artifact

Immutable artifacts are built once and deployed unchanged to all environments. Learn why artifact immutability is essential for reliable continuous delivery and deployment consistency.

Prod-Like Test Environment

Production-like test environments catch bugs early and reduce deployment risk. Learn how to create reliable test environments that mirror production for better software quality assurance.

Rollback On-demand

Fast, safe rollback capability is essential for continuous delivery. Learn rollback strategies including blue-green deployments, canary releases, and feature flags for reliable production deployments.

Application Configuration

Application configuration should deploy with your artifact, not vary by environment. Learn how to separate app config from environment config for reliable continuous delivery.

Trunk Based Development

Trunk-based development eliminates merge conflicts by integrating all code changes directly to trunk. Learn how short-lived branches and daily commits improve software delivery performance.
