Understand the context offered by our web agency

- Reduce costs;
- Publish an app faster;
- Optimize time management;
- Limit risks before publication;
- Provide gradual and regular changes to a product;

- Our developers become more efficient, allowing the sponsoring company to reduce its technology debt.
- The technical environment (automation tools) and quality procedures accelerate problem-solving and allow a better focus on creation.
- Our operations technicians are freer to focus on their major role: to provide a stable, available, optimized and reliable infrastructure for developers.
- Our quality controllers are ready to deliver a release-ready application as soon as new code is written and integrated into the source.
- Finally, our sales teams can adapt their communication, the other links in the chain being firmly linked.
Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration: what is the difference?
In absolute terms, Continuous Delivery goes hand in hand with Continuous Integration, however, it is important to differentiate between the two methods. Continuous delivery therefore allows, through a pipeline, to automate tests, publishing processes, deploy an application at any time and easily, thus strengthening pre-production. The various stakeholders, developers, operational staff, testers and sales teams are involved. With the potential to become a strength for the company that adopts it, CD pushes to improve practices, collaboration methods, the evolution and transfer of skills and the adoption of new technologies.
Regarding Continuous Integration (CI), it makes it possible to automate the integration of changes in the codes of a project from several developers. This process is therefore composed of a version control system whose objective is to check the relevance of the changes before their integration (syntax, code quality, etc.).
Continuous delivery and DevOps : a winning combo
DevOps is an optimized method of collaboration and communication. It is practiced by software developers and IT operations experts. Combined with Continuous Delivery, it improves the return on investment!
