Continuous Deployment involves shipping code as frequently as possible, even multiple times per day. It allows for smaller changes with less risk, faster feedback, and a competitive advantage. To achieve this, companies optimize their deployment process, automate testing and deployments, and measure everything to learn and improve continuously. This approach is enabled by technologies like cloud computing and embraced by companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
