Continuous delivery

DORA (Google Cloud) Free Advanced

Explains how to keep every change ready to release at any time, which is the technical backbone of a weekly staging link. It helps you ask your dev team the right questions about deploying on demand rather than saving work for a monthly push. Pairs well with the small batches page.

  • Aim to release any change quickly and safely on demand.
  • Keep work in a deployable state instead of batching it.
  • On demand releases depend on small batches and automation.
