Modernizing Development with Continuous Shipping

Ahoy there. Continuous shipping: a concept many companies talk about but never get around to implementing. Ever wonder why that is? In the first post of this three-part series, we’ll go over(board) the concept of continuous shipping and why it’s valuable. Parts two and three will deep-dive into the process implementation.

For many industries where the pace of change is rapid and the market incredibly competitive, it’s this speed that can separate the great products in the eyes of users from the merely “good” ones.

Combining Log Analysis with Continuous Delivery to Reduce Release Cycle Times

One of the biggest challenges in the field of log analysis is being able to connect the dots and understand the underlying story connecting them. Applications and machines are generating an increasing amount of log data, making it extremely difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

3 Ways that Continuous Delivery and Incident Response Enable Fast Feedback

One of the most impressive books on DevOps, “The DevOps Handbook”, emphasis three fundamental principles underpinning DevOps: systems thinking, amplify feedback loops, and continual experimentation & learning. Amplifying feedback loops is described as creating the right to left feedback loops, which helps corrections to be made continually, by Gene Kim in his blog post.
