Deployments are a critical part of the software development process, as they involve the process of delivering software updates and new releases to users. In today's fast-paced world of software development, it's important to stay on top of the latest trends and best practices in the field in order to ensure that your organisation is implementing modern deployment patterns that are effective and efficient. Understanding trends with deployments can help your organisation to identify common patterns used by the industry, as well as any notable changes. This information can be invaluable in helping your organisation to make informed decisions about its own deployment processes and to stay competitive in the market.

This presentation will provide an overview of the state of software deployments -- what teams in the industry are doing to ship software to customers. It provides insight into the deployment patterns observed, including the products used in the deployment pipeline. The presentation will summarise observations across the industry and provide an analysis of the trends and patterns observed. It will also include a list of trends and predictions about the future of software deployments. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have a better understanding of the state of software deployments and what to expect in the future.
