Track: Continuous Delivery: From Heroics to Becoming Invisible
Location:
- Grand Ballroom B/C
Day of week:
- Monday
As a product grows many delivery procedures quickly turn into a haphazard collection of ad hoc recipes, tribal knowledge and unrelated tools that are brought together by the heroics of a few dedicated individuals. While their efforts and achievements deserve praise, they are also a signal that the process is broken. The journey of Continuous Delivery starts at these valiant feats of will and determination and culminate in habits, processes and tooling that become so ingrained and natural to the daily routines of the organization as to become invisible. It is these journeys of transformation in organization, their success, failures and the often overlooked efforts required to make things appear effortless that define what undertaking Continuous Delivery encompasses.

Builds and Build systems have been treated for many years not with the conceptual depth and principles they deserve and require. The lack of this is even more painful today as modern builds form a crucial part of the continuous delivery pipeline far away from the simple copy, compile and archive of the past.
We will present an in-depth treatment of build systems concepts. This starts with different approaches how builds are defined and the different roles of people interacting with...

Manager, Edge Infrastructure & Delivery at Netflix
A few years ago, the Netflix API evolved into the primary internet facing service that all devices interact with to obtain the metadata needed to render their user experience. The timing of that shift coincided with our move from our private Data Centers to AWS, which also marked a switch to the Operate-What-You-Built’ model of execution for Engineering teams across the company. All these changes created a challenge for us in terms of our ability to deliver software reliably at the pace that...
