Over the past decade, engineering teams have increasingly embraced faster deployment tempos, progressing from quarterly releases under Waterfall methodologies to more frequent, sprint-aligned Agile deployments. Influential research, such as that by the DORA team, suggests that teams deploying more frequently often achieve higher quality and stability. Practices like Trunk-Based Development and Continuous Deployment allow teams to push changes to production multiple times a day by integrating smaller batch sizes and feature flagging, which decouples deployment from release. This shift necessitates changes in software development life cycles (SDLCs), such as minimizing the "hardening" phase and leveraging automated testing to validate code post-deployment. While Continuous Deployment offers benefits like faster feedback and reduced risk through smaller, more frequent updates, it also requires careful management of feature flags and project tracking to prevent code clutter and ensure tasks are fully completed. By embracing these practices, teams can deliver value more efficiently and with greater stability, though the transition demands significant adjustments in testing and release management strategies.
