BRYTER, a German LegalTech company, improved how they update their software by moving to continuous deployments. This change allowed them to make updates faster, improve their software quality, and give their teams more control and understanding of the process. As a result, they saw fewer problems and could fix issues quicker.
A responsive development environment, automated tests managed by engineers, and distinct deployments from releases are key. Embrace real-time code reviews for immediate insights. The intersection of automation, collaboration, and swift feedback defines developer success. How are your feedback loops?
Is not to deploy on Fridays really that wise advice, that it used to be in the past? I would say “No”!
We did it. Roughly two years after I joined BRYTER and one year after we started the developer experience team, we finally ended the era of manual deployments for roughly 15 teams.
When moving towards a more continuous software delivery process, focus on evolving the culture instead of just automating the processes.
Decoupling deployments and releases gives you a better control about when system changes are made available to users and can help you to avoid complicated rollback processes in case, things go wrong.
Walls in your deployment process block value-flow and slow-down feedback cycles. Here is how you can detect and remove them.
