Basics of Software Deployment

Software deployment concerns all the activities that make a software system available to consumers. The term software deployment is also commonly described as application deployment. Following software deployment best practices ensures that all deployed applications operate smoothly and work as expected.

Benefits of software deployment

There are several benefits of software deployment, such as:

• Saved time: A good software deployment process can be configured to only take a few minutes. This saves time when it comes to compiling and distribution to the users.

• Increased security: Deploying our application in a structured manner rather than doing it manually or for individual users means we ensure the security of the application and the security of the application on every user’s device.

• Better monitoring: Deploying an application on production servers helps provide more control and more data on what is working from the user’s end.
