Case Study: Journey to Continuous Deployment
Consumer goods company, wants to achieve full Continuous Deployment
Wants:
● FAST - Increase the speed at which new features, bug fixes reach customers.
● CLEAN - Deploy cleanly into their fleet of AWS instances.
● CLEAR - Utilize a single UI to track deployments and debug errors
Needs:
● Push-button deployment that chains their Source, CI, Browser Testing, and
Deploy Steps into a single, easy to visualize pipeline.
● Confidence in a trust-worthy deployment pipeline.
● Reliable partners that work well together.

Why Continuous Deployment?
• Agility - deploy more often, iterate faster
• Safety - remove human error from the equation
• Clarity - easy to understand deployment process educates the org
The key to implementing a successful Continuous Deployment pipeline is
sufficient automated processes to ensure release stability
- Continuous Integration to ensure code is ready to release
- Browser Testing to ensure delivery of a stable product across device
and browser types
- Automated Deployment with verification of successful release
The key to a successful Continuous Deployment platform is enabling
various reliability steps to interact in a simple and easy to understand
interface (AWS CodePipeline)
Continuous Deployment - Achieved
