Continuous software deployment

Abstract

Methods and systems may be used to deploy software more quickly from development to a production environment. The methods and systems may speed up the process of developing and deploying new code. Integrations may be provided to monitor aspects of the system to provide statistics and metrics for better understanding and to automatically optimize certain aspects of the software development cycle.
