Automation and CI/CD workflows make releasing new versions a breeze. Long gone are the days of yearly releases, forgotten the pains of formal release processes.
Today we ship code many times a day. With the »click of button« we can kick off complex pipelines. Within minutes, our latest git commits get exactly to where we want them, and without manual interference. GitOps tooling and rolling forward workflows make everything seamless.
