Overview

Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), and Continuous Deployment (CD) are often a very confusing set of acronyms. Most people use all three (CI, CD, CD) interchangeably and, as you can see, “CD” even has two, commonly accepted, expansions which don’t mean the same thing. For this lesson, we will explain all three and how & why they are often used interchangeably. All that said, the concepts make for much better software so it is important to understand and implement.
