An Octopus arm forms a DevOps loop, with people sitting on the soft surface to collaborate on their work.

In the second episode of #ContinuousDelivery Office Hours, we looked at how you keep your software deployable at all times. I wrote up some notes on the awkward silence, the manual testing problem, how to tackle older code, and why automation becomes living documentation.

When deployments are painful, our instinct works against us. We end up introducing bad fixes that make things worse. It's a bit like avoiding the dentist because they might do something that hurts.

Stop Wasting AI Investment on a Broken Change Approval Process Slow, large-batch change approval processes are major bottleneck. Working in small batches can unlock the true potential of your AI investments.

When any part of your software delivery pipeline moves in large batches, it forces the entire pipeline to use the same batch size. You end up with a pipeline sized to the largest batch in your delivery process.

Is CI/CD driven by tools or by principles?🤔

According to DevOpsCon speaker Nir Koren, it all starts with principles. Tools matter, but only as enablers of how you reliably deliver value, artifacts, and products to your users.

The two biggest problems in software delivery are:

1. Discovering what works
2. Not forgetting what we discovered

And the second one is the hardest.

“Copy paste, miss a step and your deployment breaks” is going to be an earworm in my mind all day. Luckily at @octopus.com we dog food our own stuff so it’ll be alright.

Instead of precise estimates, focus on small, iterative steps and rapid feedback loops. This allows teams to adapt to new discoveries and deliver value more consistently, embracing the unknown. #ContinuousDelivery 5/6

Your "Agile" process is probably why your delivery feels chaotic.

Unevenness in how work flows is Mura, and it’s the real source of waste. Part 2 of my blog series breaks down how to measure this and how to actually fix it.
