Continuous Reliability: An agile process to deliver higher quality applications

Abstract:
Every business going through an organizational transformation to gain a competitive advantage faces the same challenge: how do we balance agility and stability? To solve for the agility part of this equation, many development and operations teams are turning to continuous integration (CI) and continuous development/deployment (CD), however, these practices often put stability at risk. Enter Continuous Reliability.

Continuous Reliability (CR) is a new framework that brings together automated code quality gates and contextual feedback loops within a CI/CD workflow to help organizations overcome the agility/stability paradox. CR can mean the difference between hoping your code might work in production, and actually knowing it will.

In this session, Rich Borucki, Sr Solution Engineer, will define CR for attendees and demonstrate how they can implement this practice within the context of their organization's own transformation.

The session will follow the below outline:

Introduce and define the concept of CR Quality Gates Feedback Loops

How are enterprise organizations approaching this problem today and the challenges they are encountering

Improving moved to 5445 Legacy Dr. in Plano. This is the Northwest corner of Legacy and Hedgcoxe. It doesn't have great signage right now so here is a picture of the south side of the building (the side facing Legacy) where you should park and enter.

A couple of things:

• Doors will be locked after 6:00 PM but we will be monitoring the south doors until the meeting starts at 7:00 PM.

• After that or if you can't get in before then and no one is watching text (469) 444-0196.

• There is parking on the north side of the building too.

Hope to see everyone there.
