Description: Rapid deployment refers to the process of implementing applications or updates in a production environment quickly and efficiently. This approach is fundamental in modern software development, where speed and flexibility are essential to meet market demands. Rapid deployment enables developers to launch new versions of applications with minimal service interruption. Key features of this process include automation of repetitive tasks, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), as well as the ability to quickly roll back changes in case of errors. The relevance of rapid deployment lies in its ability to improve development team productivity, reduce time to market, and facilitate constant innovation. In a cloud environment, auto-scaling complements rapid deployment by allowing applications to automatically adjust to demand, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and that users have access to optimal performance at all times.
