Continuous Deployment
We ship at least once per day, sometimes more. Zero downtime deployments mean your organization never misses a beat. This list is far from exhaustive. It only focuses on the most impactful changes and only when we think to add them. We release unlogged performance improvements, bug fixes, and new tweaks every day. The dates you see are the weeks during which we released these changes; not the day we released them.
