Hi Folks - after a bit of a hiatus we are back. Steve Neely of Rally Software will be talking in more detail about Rally's progress toward Continuous Delivery. This talk is intended to be more focused on the developer perspective and the tools Rally uses.

Talk Overview

Continuous delivery is a hot topic. But you cannot leap from 8 week release cycles to continuous delivery overnight. This is a complex and potentially expensive process requiring support throughout your organization. It'll probably scare the $#!% out of many of your colleagues.

Back in June, Aaron presented the Rally story of moving from 8 week releases to continuous deployment (http://www.meetup.com/Boulder-Resilience-Engineering-the-Web/events/65340112/). In this talk I'll explore the what/why/how of our progress from a developer viewpoint. I'll focus in on technology choices, experiments we've tried -- successes and failures -- with the hope that you can learn from our experiences.

At the end of this talk you'll have a clear case study that demonstrates pushing code directly to production is safer than batching.
