Speeding Up Innovation
summary
Argues companies must measure and shrink time-to-value by moving to small, automated changes with feature flags, AB tests and cheap builds — one example turns 11-hour Java builds into Go builds in seconds so CI runs every commit. Recommends serverless for hour-scale prototypes, then extract hot paths into containers; cites cloud migrations like a platform for 30,000 locations at Volkswagen, target 40–50% utilization, avoid 600-ticket, six‑month deploys, use Kubernetes and multi-region failover plus chaos engineering.
