22 日，近十位开发者联名发布了软件定义交付宣言（The Software Defined Delivery Manifesto）。 
该宣言指出交付是每个软件团队和组织的基础和战略能力，只有在交付时，代码才有它的价值，才能精准地塑造精彩的世界。
交付是如此重要，现在是时候定义交付，并将其应用到开发工作中。
宣言中表示交付工作本质上是独一无二的，应用程序、组织、部署环境和团队的每个组合都有自己的上下文，每个团队都需要理解这种独特的交付和自动化。虽然持续交付对满足业务需求至关重要，但自动化执行所有重复任务也是重中之重。
工作思路是人类做决策，任务则由自动化去完成，而加速自动化的方式与加速应用开发的方式相同：使用现代架构、编程语言以及通用框架、代码库与服务。
目前已有 300 多人签署了该宣言。 以下是 Software Defined Delivery 的定义： Core: Delivery is a fundamental and strategic capability for every software team and organization. First-class: Delivery code is production code. Strategic: Decide policy at the team and organization level; implement it with precision, without toil, in code. Evolving: As we learn, we continually improve our delivery.
Engineered: In robust, testable code. 70s-era scripting languages are insufficient. Modern software architecture: Event-driven and extensible. Modern programming languages: Logic is best specified in code, not pictures or GUIs. Scripts don’t scale. Model-based: Backed by a model of the software domain, with understanding of code. Testable: Enabling short trips to spot errors before production.
Collaborative: Among people: Each person can express their expertise in code for everyone’s benefit. Among software: We use best-of-breed tools, but how we combine them is unique. Between people and software: Collaborative
automation enhances our perception and implements our decisions. It
brings information and actions to where we are and makes automated
behavior comprehensible to us. Using code, we distinguish between a
team's shared set of delivery objectives, and their implementations.
Accelerated: Through automation: We automate repeated tasks to speed our work and avoid errors. Through reuse: Common functionality is shared between developers, teams, and organizations.
Observable: Common means to observe and troubleshoot what happens in the delivery process as a production system. Trace: Observe activity in a system and trace the relationships between actions. Debug: Interact with and inspect and a delivery flow. Metrics: Derive metrics from activity across the entire delivery flow.
