The continuous culture
summary
Argument for moving beyond continuous delivery to a culture that makes rapid, safe experiments: claim that high performers run 2555x faster (Puppet Labs) and examples like Amazon deploying every 11.2 seconds motivate daily or more frequent releases; practical tools and failures include ELK stack monitoring, UpSource code reviews, JIRA-driven release notes, and a botched six‑month period of “green” tests pointing at an empty dataset. Concrete outcomes: break a 60,000‑line COBOL mess into 15,000 lines, adopt microservices, and prefer incremental delivery over risky branching.
