Operating Continuously

Software delivery doesn't stop with deployment. Modern teams rely on an emerging set of best practices post-deployment to continuously improve, release, and operate their software. With this practical guide, CTOs, software architects, and senior engineering leaders will learn how to apply these practices to their existing operations.Authors Edith Harbaugh, Cody De Arkland, and Brian Rinaldi provide actionable insights into setting up and maintaining a smooth operational process post-deployment. You'll learn new approaches to releasing software, controlling systems at runtime, and measuring the impact of change.This book helps you:Understand how modern development processes have moved beyond the DevOps infinity loopUnderstand the evolution of CI/CD, and the operational impacts of that changeUse the tools and processes necessary to measure the impact of change on production systemsExplore an emerging class of techniques to separate deployment from releaseLearn how to use canary launches and feature flags to release faster with less riskUse experimentation and impact analysis to drive data driven software improvements
