10 Ways to Improve How You Ship Software
summary
Ten concrete practices to ship faster and safer: decouple deploys from releases with feature flags and progressive rollouts; aim for 15-minute deploys and multiple daily deploys; use faster tooling like pnpm, Vite and swc; enable shared remote build caching (turbo repo / nx) so CI builds complete in seconds; replace long-lived staging with per-PR preview environments; add comprehensive alerts; adopt infra-as-code and internal platforms; prefer trunk-based or very short-lived branches and teams of 2–6 working on one project.
