Discoverability surfaces
Software-delivery practice where every code change merged to main is automatically deployed to production, often within minutes. Distinct from continuous integration (which only tests) and continuous delivery (which prepares releases). CD enables small batch sizes, rapid feedback, and lower per-change risk. Companies that ship via CD include Stripe, GitHub, Vercel, Cloudflare, and most modern AI-infra orgs. Engineering-signal correlation: high-CD orgs show distinctive deploy-frequency-spike patterns in their public commit panel.
