Image Owl uses the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) development model to ensure that we release new changes to our customers quickly in a sustainable way. We deploy small batches of code changes to production regularly, usually weekly so that the code is fresh in developer's mind and there is a limited amount of dependencies to test. This allows us to be responsive to customer needs for bug fixes and new features while maintaining a robust and well tested code base.
