+# Release Engineering & Continuous Delivery
+- Treat every commit as a deployable artifact.
+- Use CI to run tests and build artifacts; use CD to push to staging/production.
+- Pin versions, sign artifacts, and audit changes.
+- Release trains > hero deploys: small batches, fast feedback.
+
+# 11 Factor Apps (12 Factor methodology adapted)
+1. Codebase: one repo per service, tracked in version control.
+2. Dependencies: explicit manifests, lockfiles, isolated environments.
+3. Config: env vars/secrets outside code.
+4. Backing services: attach databases/queues as resources.
+5. Build/run separation: immutable artifacts, separate runtime.
+6. Processes: stateless, share nothing, push state out.
+7. Port binding: self-contained HTTP service.
+8. Concurrency: scale by process model.
+9. Disposability: fast startup, graceful shutdown.
+10. Dev/prod parity: avoid one-off configs.
+11. Logs/logging: treat logs as event streams.
+
+# Microservices Architecture
+- bounded context per service
+- async communication where possible
+- API contracts + versioning
+- independent deployability
+- observability: metrics, traces, structured logs
