Deployment frequency: how often new code is deployed into production.  

quoted from Atlassian


Many practitioners use the term “delivery” to mean code changes that are released into a pre-production staging environment, and reserve “deployment” to refer to code changes that are released into production.  

quoted from Atlassian


High-performing teams can deploy changes on demand, and often do so many times a day. Lower-performing teams are often limited to deploying weekly or monthly.  

The ability to deploy on demand requires an automated deployment pipeline that incorporates automated testing and feedback mechanisms, and minimizes the need for human intervention.
