  • More about Operating Continuously: Best Practices for Accelerating Software Delivery


Software delivery is not just about deployment; it's about continuous improvement, release, and operation. This book provides actionable insights for CTOs, software architects, and senior engineering leaders to apply best practices post-deployment, such as releasing software, controlling systems at runtime, and measuring the impact of change. It also covers new approaches to releasing software, using canary launches and feature flags, experimentation and impact analysis, and driving data-driven software improvements.

Software delivery is a continuous process that extends beyond deployment. In today's modern teams, a new set of best practices has emerged to optimize, release, and operate software continuously. This practical guide is designed for CTOs, software architects, and senior engineering leaders who want to leverage these practices within their existing operations. Authored by Edith Harbaugh, Cody De Arkland, and Brian Rinaldi, this book offers actionable insights on establishing and maintaining a seamless operational process post-deployment. It delves into innovative approaches to software release, runtime system control, and measuring the impact of change. By exploring these topics, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how modern development processes have evolved beyond the DevOps infinity loop. They will explore the evolution of CI/CD and its operational implications, as well as the tools and processes required to evaluate the impact of changes on production systems. The book also introduces an emerging class of techniques aimed at separating deployment from release, enabling faster and risk-reduced releases. It discusses the use of canary launches and feature flags to streamline the release process, leveraging experimentation and impact analysis to drive data-driven software improvements. With its comprehensive coverage, this guide empowers CTOs, software architects, and senior engineering leaders to enhance their software delivery strategies and drive operational excellence in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
