Go Faster, Be Safer • Munnawar Hashim • YOW! 2022

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2022. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Munnawar Hashim - Developer Advocate at LaunchDarkly @teachingtotech RESOURCES https://twitter.com/Munnawar_h https://linkedin.com/in/munnawar ABSTRACT Why do we spend so much energy on testing? We test because afraid of things like product impact, team impact, and reputation. This careful approach allows us to gain a level of confidence that everything isn't going to break when our software releases - but what if the secret isn't testing more - it's adding layers of risk mitigation? If we can roll back a change in seconds, or control who are experiencing the changes, are we as worried? In this session, we'll talk about how LaunchDarkly allows to ship software faster by giving you greater control over the release processes, and the safety of your software environment.
