Automation is where a project starts
summary
Claims that projects start automation immediately and that this both speeds delivery and incrementally hardens the automation layer. Describes building a CI/CD factory with Jenkins and Terraform, publishing artifacts and deploying via automated pipelines. Reports migrating roughly 170 services, running unit, integration, performance and security tests as part of the pipeline, and testing the automation layer itself in production so deploys become observable and problems surface before human intervention.
