Part 3. Making delivery easy

Now that you understand how to keep software in a deliverable state, we’ll move past verification of software changes into how to release that software.

Chapter 8 takes another look at version control. By looking through the lens of the DORA metrics, you’ll see that the way version control is used impacts release velocity.

Chapter 9 demonstrates how to build artifacts safely by applying the principles defined by the SLSA standard, and explains the importance of versioning.

Chapter 10 returns to the DORA metrics, focusing on those related to stability, and examines various deployment methodologies that you can use to improve your software’s stability.
