Why Continuous Delivery/Deployment?

What is Continuous Delivery?

The CI process generates a build artifact, which is a combination of tools, dependencies, and the built code. An artifact can be stored, redistributed, and deployed into different environments. The continuous delivery (CD) process is a continuation of the continuous integration process and is used to get the build artifact into the appropriate target environment. This target environment can be a test, staging, or production environment. Different kinds of tests can be performed during the continuous delivery process. It is equally important to include an appropriate feedback mechanism in our pipeline, such as notifications on Google Chat.
