Deploymentketen

Deploymentketen is a Dutch term that translates to "deployment chain" or "deployment pipeline." It refers to the series of automated steps and processes involved in delivering software from a developer's workstation to a production environment. The core idea is to streamline and standardize the process of releasing new software versions or updates. This typically involves a sequence of stages such as building the code, testing it rigorously, and then deploying it to various environments like staging or production. The goal is to make deployments faster, more reliable, and less prone to manual errors. A well-defined deploymentketen often incorporates practices like continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release. This automation reduces the time between writing code and making it available to end-users, allowing for quicker feedback loops and more agile development. The specific tools and technologies used within a deploymentketen can vary widely, but common elements include version control systems, build automation tools, automated testing frameworks, and deployment orchestration platforms. The emphasis is on creating a repeatable and auditable process that ensures the quality and stability of software releases.
