Separating "deploy" from "release" In the classic DevOps ‘infinity loop’ diagram, you’ll notice that ‘release’ comes before ‘deploy’. ‘Release’, in this sense, refers to creating a stable branch of software that can later be deployed. It does not refer to connecting software to end users. At LaunchDarkly, we view deploy and release differently.
