codelivered

Codelivered is a term used in software development to describe the systematic delivery of code artifacts to production environments through automated pipelines. It denotes the practice of moving code changes from development through to deployment in a reliable, repeatable manner, with an emphasis on speed, quality, and governance.

Though not a formal standard, codelivered is used in industry discourse to highlight a disciplined approach to software delivery. It is closely associated with continuous integration, continuous delivery, and GitOps, and is often discussed in the context of DevOps practices.

Key components typically involved include version control for source code, automated builds and tests, security and quality checks, artifact repositories, and deployment automation. More advanced workflows may incorporate containerization, feature flags, blue-green or canary deployment strategies, and extensive monitoring and observability after release.

Benefits of codelivered processes include reduced deployment risk, shorter release cycles, improved reproducibility, and better traceability of changes. They enable rapid feedback from production and easier rollback if issues arise.
