The Biggest Trick Consultants
summary
Claim: continuous delivery is harder than consultants sell and requires measurable changes not scripts. Concrete practices: build binaries once, use same deploy mechanism across environments, smoke test and stop on failure. Examples and tools: measured a 6 week release with 19.5 days of idle wait time, used Grafana/log aggregation for visibility, used Terraform to document infrastructure and fail over regions in under 6 minutes. Industry numbers cited: up to 30x faster delivery with 50% fewer failures for high performers.
