Continuous Delivery

A Practical Guide

A Practical Guide to Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery allows for faster and more reliable deployment of software in production. The foundation is a Continuous Delivery pipeline that automates the deployment process. This enables a reproducible, low-risk process to bring new releases into production.

The Book

The book is a 100% practical guide to building Continuous Delivery pipelines that automate rollouts, improve reproducibility, and dramatically reduce risk.

It introduces a proven Continuous Delivery technology stack, including Docker, Chef, Vagrant, Jenkins, Graphite, the ELK stack, JBehave, and Gatling. The book guides you through applying these technologies throughout build, continuous integration, load testing, acceptance testing, and monitoring. Wolff’s start-to-finish example projects offer the basis for your own experimentation, pilot programs, and full-fledged deployments.
