Deliver Results, Not Just Releases: Control & Observability in CD • Dave Karow • GOTO 2019

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2019. #gotocon #gotochgo http://gotochgo.com Dave Karow - Continuous Delivery Evangelist at Split ABSTRACT How do companies like Netflix, LinkedIn, and booking.com crush it year after year? Yes, they release early and often. But they also build control and observability into their CD pipeline to turn releases into results. Progressive delivery and the statistical observation of real users (sometimes known as “shift right testing” or “feature experimentation”) are essential CD practices. They free teams to move fast, control risk and focus engineering cycles on work that delivers results, not just releases. Learn implementation strategies and best practices for adding control and observability to your CD pipeline: Where should you implement progressive delivery controls: front-end or back-end? Why balancing centralization/consistency and local team autonomy in your implementation will increase the odds of achieving results you can trust and observations your teams will act upon. What two pieces of data make it possible to attribute system and user behavior changes to any deployment? How “guardrail” metrics [...] Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotochgo.com/2019/sessions/951 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Rishu Mehra • What is Data Observability • https://amzn.to/3zdkxFK Gerardus Blokdyk • Observability Services A Complete Guide • https://amzn.to/3zgA73A https://twitter.com/gotochgo https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConference https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- http://gotocon.com #DevOps #CD #ContinuousDelivery #DataScience #observability Looking for a unique learning experience?
