A lot has happened at the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) in 2021! Here are some quick highlights; we’ll dive into more of what we’ve done and in greater detail in our Annual Report coming in January.
New Project
We welcomed two new projects this year: Shipwright and CDEvents! View all projects.
State of Continuous Delivery Report Series
We launched a new State of Continuous Delivery Report Series to provide vendor-neutral data on key DevOps and development metrics showing where continuous delivery stands in 2021 and beyond.
The first report was launched in June, State of Continuous Delivery Report, and the latest one, State of CD: 18 Months into the COVID-19 Pandemic, was released last week.
CDF Landscape
This fall, Kara de la Marck worked with the community to revamp the CDF Landscape. They added too many new projects to count!
