Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are distinct processes within the software development lifecycle, with CI focusing on transforming code into artifacts and CD emphasizing the safe, quick deployment of these artifacts into production. Despite the crowded market of over 35 vendors claiming to offer CI/CD solutions, true CD practices, characterized by frequent production deployments, remain rare, with companies like Harness standing out. Historically, software release processes involved extensive project management and coordination, but the advent of Continuous Delivery, cloud computing, and DevOps has revolutionized these practices, promoting automation and increased developer velocity. DevOps, often confused with Continuous Delivery, is more about fostering a culture of collaboration, automation, and shared goals, while CD is a practice that can thrive within such a cultural environment. The article highlights the evolution of these concepts and the limited number of vendors genuinely practicing Continuous Delivery, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between CI/CD tools and their roles.
