Continuous delivery (CD) is the practice of using short feedback loops in the software development life cycle to ensure that the resulting application can be released at any moment in time[1]. While there are alternative approaches to release management, we will only consider this one because creating a meaningful, short—and therefore automated—feedback loop with ML applications presents unique challenges that are not created by alternative methodologies that may not require this degree of automation.
The CD feedback loop consists of the following process:
