Continuous Delivery for Gems - by James Couball

In modern DevOps practices, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment are two approaches that streamline the software release process, each with its own level of automation and control. Continuous Delivery ensures that code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for a release to production. However, the actual deployment to production is a manual decision. This allows teams to control when production releases occur. Continuous Deployment takes this automation a step further by automatically deploying every change to production without manual intervention. This leads to faster release cycles but requires a robust automated testing framework to ensure quality.
