How to Build and Deploy Services in the Cloud fireside chat
summary
Advice focuses on measurable, practical changes: track deployments per day, deployment duration and lead time from developer work to production and use those to prioritize. Invest a permanent tooling team, standardize CI (Jenkins, Bitbucket, GitHub Actions), adopt Cypress for headless integration tests and visual regression, and build artifacts with Docker/OCI. Prefer immutable infrastructure, gradual rollouts and fast rollbacks, run production-facing integration tests as canaries, and allocate a small per-sprint “tax” (one story point) to iteratively improve build and deployment pipelines.
