The Trouble with Continuous Delivery (Bryan Finster)

Continuous delivery is how modern product development is done. Not only is it required to be truly “agile”, but it is a critical capability for ensuring the stability and security of mission critical systems. Agenda overview: 1 Who I am and why I care about this topic 2. What are CI & CD? - Technical practices & broader goals 3. How did I first get involved and learn how to do it 4. Scaling CD to Walmart: whole system approach 5. Mistakes companies make: - Tools first, mindset after the first disaster - Tools with no education on practices - Sub-optimizing the value stream, dev teams improve but aren’t the constraint. - Compliance and security at the end 6. Path to CD: http://MinimumCD.org - a roadmap of problems to solve to improve the organization. Let’s have a conversation about the struggles and how to clear them. ABOUT THE SPEAKER I’m a passionate advocate for and practitioner of continuous delivery who knows from experience that CD improves outcomes for the end-user, the organization, and for the teams implementing it. Deploy more and sleep better. I have over two decades of experience delivering and supporting mission-critical supply chain solutions for very large enterprises. I'm the founder and former lead for the Walmart DevOps Dojo with hands-on experience both executing continuous delivery for production systems and helping other organizations find and remove the constraints that prevent a CD workflow.
