Continuous Delivery vs. Gitflow & CD At Scale | Bryan Finster In The Engineering Room Ep. 11

If you haven't come across Bryan Finster before, you can thank me later. Bryan was one of a small enabling team of 5 people who introduced Continuous Delivery to over 18000 developers at Walmart.

He is now working with Defence Unicorns to do the same kind of thing for the US Airforce. Adopting CD at scale is a complicated problem, but Bryan has done it repeatedly, and with intelligence, humour and whit. Amongst many other things, Bryan has started the parody site "Scaled Agile DevOps Maturity Framework" (SADMF) which is worth checking out it you would like a laugh.

Here are a few quotes from Bryan:

"Developing with CD is fun and productive: not developing with CD is like punching yourself in the face everyday"

"It's hard to explain CD to people who have never done it. Like flying cars, If you’ve never seen CD done, it's hard to believe that it can be true."

"Continuous Delivery is not the goal though, it is THE tool for your Excellence Strategy, and to secure your software."

"Why do some people fail at adopting CD? You can't just hand people the tools without the training - they will hurt themselves."
