Recently I was asked for books and other literature recommendations on the subjects Continuous Delivery / Deployment, DevOps and Microservices. Here are some of the books, articles and talks I think are worth consuming.
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.
