Why is it important to decouple deployment from release?

= Decoupling deployment from release means having the ability to deploy changes to a system without having to make a new release of the system. This can be a valuable capability when making changes to a system that is in production and needs to be rolled back quickly if there are problems. It also allows releasing functionality on demand to meet business needs, which is one of the aspects of the Continuous Delivery Pipeline in SAFe. By decoupling deployment from release, enterprises can achieve faster feedback, higher frequency, and greater safety in delivering value to customers. References: = Release on Demand, DevOps: Why Is It Important to Decouple Deployment From Release?, Why Is It Important to Decouple Deployment from Release?, What a Lovely Decouple: Why Decoupling Deploy from Release Is a Game Changer
