For anyone interested in the "Lean Startup" (or in entrepreneurship on the whole - if this is new to you and you are interested in tech startups then it is very interesting - one of the main guys is Eric Reis and has a very interesting blog here) I read a recent guest post on Eric Reis' blog about Continuous Deployment by one of the head guys at kaChing (online/e payment startup).
Most of us are probably pretty up to speed with what continuous integration is, but the idea of continuous deployment, and the changes to the traditional design-build-test-fix cycle to a much shorter time frames (we're talking averaging 20 deploys to a Live environment a day!) really makes you think.
I'm not sure it would suit larger, or more traditional corporate environments, but its really interesting to see it put in to life over at kaChing.
You can find the blog here, and there is also a lecture video about the topic here along with the slides to accompany it here
