Our co-founder Dylan Etkin wrote this book from a practitioner's perspective. Dylan was one of the first 20 employees at Atlassian, and a founding engineer and the first Architect of Jira. He has also led engineering for Bitbucket at scale, and Statuspage, a startup that Atlassian acquired.
The book attempts to break down HOW elite software teams deploying to production many times a day get to where they are.
Their journey can be deconstructed into 3 phases:
Phase 1 : Deploy once a week
Phase 2 : Deploy once a day
Phase 3 : Deploy a hundred times a day
The book details the measurements, development practices, communications, and cultural milestones that mark each phase to show you how to replicate their journey toward Continuous Delivery - and reap the benefits that come with frequent deployments.
Fantastic read. Thank you for sharing. At a consultancy with multiple products under ownership but no full-item ownership, we're often stuck only improving our psychological and communication processes. How this leads to the bottlenecks that keep many of our projects stuck in weekly-to-daily deployments is well explained in this book. Perhaps Sleuth can help. :)
Since you mentioned maybe trying Sleuth. Dylan just posted a Show HN for our new Accelerate metrics tracker, you can read his comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=detkin
