The deployment of software to a production environment or app store.
Deployment Frequency can act as a more measurable proxy for [[Batch size]] within [[Software engineering MOC|Software engineering]] orgs.
## Concrete measure
==How often is a single batch of code (for a primary service or application) deployed to production environment?==
- On-demand (multiple times per day)
- 1hr – 1 day
- 1 day – 1 week
- 1 week – 1 month
- 1 month – 6 months
- \> 6 months
## Leverage points
- Encourage developers to work on single feature batches
- Improve[[CICD]] pipeline:
- Build one if it doesn't already exist
- Add more automated checks to remove need for manual ones
- Move to fully automated [[Continuous Deployment]] to production
