Two new terms have recently emerged around software delivery: Software-Defined Delivery and Progressive Delivery. Why? How do they relate to Continuous Delivery?
Several forces today make delivery increasingly complex. Notably, the proliferation of repositories, with hundreds of small projects replacing a handful of monoliths; a desire for greater automation to realize the full potential of CD across multiple environments; the rise of feature flagging; and increased evidence (such as the Equifax debacle) of the need to bake security into the delivery process.
