Progressive Delivery is an approach for incrementally releasing software updates. It allows teams to introduce changes in controlled environments and gather feedback early. This reduces risks and enhances user experience.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Progressive delivery releases a software change gradually to selected users or environments and uses feedback to steer it.
The approach grew from continuous delivery, canary releases, and feature flags. Martin Fowler described the combined strategy in 2017 as a way to control release risk.
A change opens like a valve: first to a small group, then to more. Metrics and stop rules decide whether flow increases, pauses, or rolls back.
A limited rollout for observing real effects.
A runtime switch for controlling a capability.
Returning to a previous working version.
Progressive delivery limits the blast radius of faulty changes. It requires strong telemetry, clear stop criteria, and reversible deployments.
