Continuous Delivery trends: A candid conversation

A part of our Continuous Learning program

Join a cross-discipline group in an open conversation, moderated by Kelsey Hightower, answering your most asked questions. The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF)’s mission is to improve the world’s capacity to deliver software with security and speed. As part of this mission, the CDF will bring a steady stream of learning opportunities to the community.

Speakers: Robert Wen, Salesforce; Stephen Atwell, Armory; Tracy Miranda, CD. Foundation; and John Esposito, DZone.

⚠️ Submit your questions to be discussed by the speakers by sending them to social@cd.foundation.

The conversation will be influenced by recent reports in this space. If you want to check them out, here they are:

Dive into The State of CI/CD Trends report by DZone:

The marriage of Development and Operations has proven a game-changer for high-performing organizations. As a leading tactic in making this marriage work, organizations began to adopt the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) model. DZone surveyed 415 developers on the ways in which DevOps teams are building up and taking advantage of their engineering maturity to establish fully functioning CI/CD pipelines.

Explore the State of Continuous Delivery Report: 18 Months into the COVID-19 Pandemic from the CDF.

Some of the key insights from the report are:

• DevOps practices are broadly adopted in all sectors of the software economy, not just in internet-centric applications.
• DevOps is widespread in organizations of all sizes, with at least 80% of professional developers who work for companies of two or more employees being involved in the space.
• There are also no signs that industry velocity is increasing. If anything, the proportion of top performers in terms of lead time for code changes dropped slightly, from 17% in Q3 2020 to 14% in Q3 2021.
• Experience in software development plays a key role in increasing the effectiveness of the software delivery process, both in terms of speed and reliability

Join Continuous Delivery leaders, industry icons, practitioners, and open source developers for a two-day experience as we improve the world’s capacity to deliver software with security and speed. cdCon is the annual event by the Continuous Delivery Foundation that brings together technology teams, enterprise leadership and open source communities to drive the future of software delivery.

With DevOps transforming the way we work with a focus on speed to market, how do we ensure the right level of quality in the system? In this meetup we will be joined by Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect for DevOps for Enterprise Systems. She will discuss some of the lessons learned and experiences on improving overall quality while achieving speed of delivery. She will use case studies, including existing backend systems running on IBM Z, that she has included in her new book “Enterprise Bug Busting – From testing through CI/CD” to deliver business results. For more information on Rosalind visit her LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalind-radcliffe/.

Over the past seven years, more than 32,000 professionals worldwide have taken part in the Accelerate State of DevOps reports, making it the largest and longest-running research of its kind. Year over year, the Accelerate State of DevOps reports provide data-driven industry insights that examine the capabilities and practices that drive software delivery as well as operational and organizational performance. That is why Google Cloud’s DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team is very excited to announce the 2021 Accelerate State of DevOps Report.

Google’s research continues to illustrate that excellence in software delivery and operational performance drives organizational performance in technology transformations. This year the report also investigated the effects of SRE best practices, a secure software supply chain, quality documentation, and multicloud—all while gaining a deeper understanding of how this past year affected team’s culture and burnout. Join this panel to learn more about the report & engage in thoughtful Q&A and discussion.
