code drop
The common definition of 'code drop' is to deploy new or updated application code. Stems from the usage of "drop boxes" to deposit said code onto, from which an automated system or an engineer deploys the code in some useful or not so useful manner. "Code drop" can refer to the placement of code for a deployment, or it can refer to the actual process of deploying the code, also called a code deployment.
