This practical handbook provides a step-by-step guide for you to get the best continuous delivery pipeline for your software.

The essential handbook on how to build, use and improve your Continuous Delivery Pipeline.

If you want to create Better Software Faster, then you need Continuous Delivery, and at the heart of Continuous Delivery is the Deployment Pipeline.

You may already have one, or be thinking about building your first! Either way, this book offers a step-by-step guide to get the best Deployment Pipeline for your software.

This book is a guide to help you to get started on your first Deployment Pipeline, or to help you to improve and further develop your existing Pipelines. This book is a close companion to my training course “Anatomy of a Deployment Pipeline” in which we explore the information in this book in some depth.

The first section, “Deployment Pipeline Foundations”, describes the principles of Continuous Delivery and Deployment Pipelines in general and how to think about them to best effect. It describes several ideas that underpin the Continuous Delivery approach, and ideas for the basis for the rest of this book. It moves on to describe some practical steps that I believe represent the best approach to getting your Deployment Pipeline started, what to focus on and in what order to create things.

Section two, “Deployment Pipeline Anatomy”, describes each of the principal, essential, stages of a Deployment Pipeline in some detail, and offers guidance and advice on the construction of effective implementations of each stage. In this section we also cover several common, though optional, stages that may be worth considering, depending on your business and the nature of your software: looking at ideas like Testing Performance, Security and other “Non-Functional” requirements.

The last section, “Whole Pipeline Considerations” examines some broader, cross-cutting ideas that inform the use and creation of effective Pipeline: looking at ideas like “Infrastructure as Code” and “Continuous Compliance”.

Written by the inventor of the Deployment Pipeline and author of the award-winning book "Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation", Dave Farley, shares his advice and experience in this practical handbook.
