Best Practices

Continuous Delivery

A discipline where software is built so it can be released to production safely at any time, with every change proven release-ready by an automated pipeline.

by Jez Humble and David Farley

Deployment Pipeline Pattern

An automated, staged path that takes every code change from commit through build, tests, and successive environments, providing a single auditable route to production.

by Jez Humble and David Farley

Pipeline as Code

Defining CI/CD pipelines in version-controlled configuration files stored alongside the application, so the delivery process is reviewable, reproducible, and auditable.

by Jenkins (CloudBees)

Pre-Commit Hooks Automation

Automating checks such as formatting, linting, and secret scanning that run on every Git commit, catching issues locally before they ever reach the shared repository.

by pre-commit (Anthony Sottile)

Configuration as Code

Managing application and system configuration in version-controlled, machine-readable files instead of manual settings, making configuration reviewable, auditable, and reproducible.

by ThoughtWorks

Runbook Automation

Codifying operational procedures as automated, repeatable workflows so common incident responses and maintenance tasks run reliably with less manual toil.

by PagerDuty

Toil Reduction

Systematically identifying and eliminating repetitive, manual, automatable operational work so engineers can spend time on durable engineering instead.

by Google SRE

MLOps Principles

The discipline of applying DevOps and engineering rigor to machine learning so models are built, deployed, monitored, and retrained reliably and reproducibly.

by Google

Internal Developer Platform

An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is the self-service product built by platform teams that gives developers golden paths to provision, build, deploy, and operate software with built-in guardrails.

by Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
