Manual Deployment vs Continuous Deployment
Developers should learn manual deployment to understand the underlying mechanics of deployment processes, which is crucial for debugging automated systems, handling edge cases, or working in environments where automation isn't feasible meets developers should learn and use continuous deployment to achieve faster release cycles, reduce human error in deployments, and improve software quality through automated testing. Here's our take.
Manual Deployment
Developers should learn manual deployment to understand the underlying mechanics of deployment processes, which is crucial for debugging automated systems, handling edge cases, or working in environments where automation isn't feasible
Manual Deployment
Nice PickDevelopers should learn manual deployment to understand the underlying mechanics of deployment processes, which is crucial for debugging automated systems, handling edge cases, or working in environments where automation isn't feasible
Pros
- +It's often used in small-scale projects, legacy systems, or during initial development phases where setting up automation might be premature or overly complex
- +Related to: continuous-deployment, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Continuous Deployment
Developers should learn and use Continuous Deployment to achieve faster release cycles, reduce human error in deployments, and improve software quality through automated testing
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for web applications, SaaS products, and microservices architectures where frequent updates are needed to respond to user feedback or market changes
- +Related to: continuous-integration, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Manual Deployment if: You want it's often used in small-scale projects, legacy systems, or during initial development phases where setting up automation might be premature or overly complex and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Continuous Deployment if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for web applications, saas products, and microservices architectures where frequent updates are needed to respond to user feedback or market changes over what Manual Deployment offers.
