" summary

Community-maintained best practices site lives on GitHub with a Learn section, contribution guidelines, issue tracker and examples to clone and PR; it documents definitions, CI/CD tool stacks and proposes GitLab CI workflows using git tags and PRs for build/test/deploy. Key claims: continuous delivery means software is deployable at any time while continuous deployment actually pushes live; testing strategy emphasizes ongoing rebuilds to avoid code rot and operating a tiny always-on canary at 1-2% for rapid failure detection.
