Continuous Delivery Patterns for Large Software Stacks

This is a critical problem for many teams. Hans will share many stories of real life projects, how they were affected by a dysfunctional pipeline and what it took to improve their situation.

There are quite a few larger projects for which a naive practice of early integration between their components lead to constant breakages and a defect delivery pipeline. Thus they were not capable to successfully build a new version of the software stack for days or even weeks.

Obviously the problem of that is dramatic as no regular manual testing and capacity testing is taking place. Not only is this a massive waste of testing resources, it also leads to very long and therefore expensive feedback cycles that severely affect your time-to-market of new features.

It also a likely source of conflict between the CI team and software development, as with no other means at hand, there is a desire to create stability by not adding new features or doing important refactorings.
