The leading causes of most incidents and software regressions are changes created in the environment. This is increasingly true as software becomes more complex and organizations scale. There are more pieces to track, and teams split then specialize - losing context on how to validate the full stack of an application along the way. This complexity and growth results in fear of deployment that slows down an organization’s velocity. In this workshop we will discuss a number of techniques and strategies for regaining confidence in deployments and changes, so that you can move fast without negatively impacting customers and production services.

Topics covered will include:

• Using monitoring driven development approaches to bring observability earlier into your development cycles
• Canary deployments and rollbacks
• Creating feedback loops that enable you to catch regressions before your customers are impacted
