J. Paul Reed, Managing Partner, Release Engineering Approaches

Releasing software today is trivially easy, right? The DevOps landscape is covered with tools to address every aspect of software delivery, from committing code (in all those exciting new languages!) to deployment (on every environment from mainframes to a serverless clouds) to monitoring performance and security when it's off to production! And our silo-free, completely cross-functional teams are now all aligned behind the ethos of collaboration and customer value as the ultimate measure of success, right?
