Continuous Delivery Anti-Patterns

" summary

Argues that long-lived branches and big roadmaps block daily deployment, so teams remove branches, use feature toggles and progressive rollouts (example: 5% experiment), separate deployment from release, and run CI so production deploys are routine. Enforces TDD, pairing, testers who write code, strict test data management and service virtualization, plus staged pipelines that run virtualized suites then a reduced through-system smoke with fuzzy checks. Pushes environments as code (infrastructure as code) and a policy of fixing defects immediately.
