Continuous delivery antipatterns

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Describes concrete anti-patterns and fixes: live-debugging production, two-day outage during peak causing “releases = risk”, missing version metadata and ad hoc deploys. Recommends semantic versions visible in production, keep a separate production repo and a binary repo (Artifactory/Nexus/S3) so builds compile once and store binaries, parallelize slow pipelines, test rollbacks with blue-green deploys, automate infrastructure with Chef/Puppet (use Foodcritic), use Vagrant/Docker for dev setup, exercise backups and practice rollback procedures, prefer stable master with short-lived branches.
