Explore the intricacies of Continuous Delivery in this 48-minute conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2012. Delve into the impact of Continuous Delivery on software release cycles, version management, database schema handling, and engineering team structure. Learn about the risks associated with Continuous Delivery and effective strategies to mitigate them. Gain valuable insights from Etsy's experience as Mike Brittain, Director of Engineering, shares practical takeaways applicable to your own teams. Discover topics such as deploy buttons, dark releases, branch by abstraction, experimentation, and the importance of integrating with production environments. Understand the significance of safety measures, code reviews, and real-time metrics in maintaining a robust Continuous Delivery pipeline. Examine the balance between theoretical and practical approaches, and learn how to optimize architecture for change while involving business stakeholders in the process.
