Continuous Delivery (CD) is a set of practices and principles in software engineering aimed at, building, testing, and releasing software, faster and more frequently. These principles help reduce the cost, time and risk of deliveringchanges, and ultimately value, to customers by allowingfor more incremental changes to applications in production.
