Quick takeaways
- Continuous deployment automates the deployment of release-ready artifacts without manual approval, encouraging best practices such as canary and blue-green deployments.

Deep dives
The Importance of Continuous Integration and Deployment
Continuous integration and deployment are crucial practices in software development. Continuous integration involves producing a release-ready artifact through automated tests and processes. Continuous deployment takes it a step further by automating the deployment of this artifact to runtime environments without manual approval. The key difference between continuous delivery and continuous deployment lies in the need for manual approval. Continuous deployment encourages best practices such as canary and blue-green deployments, and it is achievable even without fully automating all processes.
