In 2016 and 2017, I gave a series of talks titled “The Road to Continuous Deployment: a Case Study”, detailing some of the work I did in 2015 together with the team at De Persgroep Employment Solutions. At DPES, we significantly improved time to market, quality and delivery speed by implementing Continuous Delivery. In the talk I explain how the process took us to multiple production releases per day and how we significantly changed and improved our way of working. This blog post reviews a (short) version of that talk, as given during the first online All Day DevOps conference, in 2016.

The road to continuous deployment (PHPCon Poland 2016)
Below are the slides of my talk “The road to continuous deployment: a case study”, as presented at PHPCon Poland in October 2016.
It’s a situation many of us are familiar with: a large legacy application, limited or no tests, slow & manual release process, low velocity, no confidence…. Oh, and management wants new features, fast.
But how to proceed? Using examples and lessons learned from a real-world case, I’ll show you how to strangle the legacy application with a modern service architecture and build a continuous deployment pipeline to deliver value from the first sprint. On the way, we take a look at testing strategies and various (possibly controversial!) tips and best practices.
