Why?
An advanced level of
engineering discipline
is required to support
continuous delivery.

It’s a Journey
Even if you don’t get to
continuous deployment,
every step is an
improvement from where
you are now.

Focus on
 Build
– Fast build times, build once, continuous integration
 Test
– Speedy test execution, reliable results (flaky tests)
 Deployment
– Automated, remove human intervention (error)

Don’t Fly Blind
 Monitoring
– Obsessive
– Everyone does this
 Alerting
– Define escalation policy
– What happens if you put devs on call?

Sanity Check
 We can deploy whenever we want
– What features are we deploying?
 Build the right things, right…
– Agile and Lean thinking
