What you'll learn

The first section, "Deployment Pipeline Foundations", describes the principles and benefits of Continuous Delivery and Deployment Pipelines and how to think about them to best effect for your software development process.

The "LMAX Case Study" takes a look at how the London Multi-Asset Exchange built their Deployment Pipeline" starting simply by building a bare-bones Pipeline in just 2-3 weeks, to support the development of the first couple of features of the system; and, evolving a sophisticated Deployment Pipeline over the next 5 years, as the software grew into a complex, high-performance, financial exchange which now handles £billions of other people's money every day.
