Continuous Deployment takes continuous integration one-step further, where every commit goes live to production servers. When this process is described it is frequently met with skepticism around site reliability and the ability to scale a business this way, but it works, it scales (with challenges) and it is embraced by the entire organization.
IMVU is a leader in Continuous Deployment, with over 5 years of experience scaling this process to support a technical staff of 50 and a business of more that $40 million in annual revenue. Brett G. Durrett, Vice President of Engineering & Operations for IMVU explains the basic mechanics of Continuous Deployment and discusses the value it creates for the entire company. Specific topics that will be covered:
Why practice Continuous Deployment.
What a Continuous Deployment system looks like.
How to practice Continuous Deployment
Attendees will understand that releasing to customers 20+ times per day is possible and that it does scale from individual developers to large companies. In addition, they will understand how they can make Continuous Deployment successful at their company, from both a technology and cultural standpoint.
