Continuous Deployment (CD) is a powerful tool for software development, but it can also present challenges. Three common mistakes made when adopting CD are thinking that it's an engineering problem only, disconnecting the deployer from the author of the change, and not tracking deployments. To avoid these pitfalls, maintain open communication across all departments, ensure the person who created a change is responsible for its impact, and track deployments to provide historical records and impact dashboards. Sleuth, a deployment tracker tool, helps teams adopt and maintain healthy continuous deployment practices by addressing these challenges directly.
