      <p>Does your team really do CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery)?</p>

      <p>I recently watched a recording of a talk from another daily emailer, <a href="https://jhall.io">Jonathan Hall</a>, who started by asking the audience to raise their hands and keep them raised if...</p>

      <ul>
      <li>They did a release to production in the last week.</li>
      <li>They did a release to production yesterday.</li>
      <li>They do not have a permanent branch called <code>develop</code>.</li>
      <li>They do not have a special "hotfix" procedure.</li>
      <li>Every Developer on their team merged work into <code>main</code> yesterday.</li>
      <li>They have no pull requests more than 24 hours old.</li>
      </ul>

      <h2 id="ci%2Fcd-is-about-process">CI/CD is about process</h2>

      <p>This is an excellent way to highlight that CI/CD is about processes, not technologies.</p>

      <p>Continuous integration is about how often everyone merges and pushes their changes, and continuous delivery and deployment is how you create releasable software and how long it takes for a change to get into production - not whether or not you use GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI or Jenkins.</p>
