Atlanta Presentation: Practicing Continuous Delivery

Posted by: James Ward on 09/20/2012

Tomorrow I’ll be presenting Practicing Continuous Delivery on the Cloud at the Atlanta No Fluff Just Stuff conference. Here is the session description:

This session will teach you best practices and patterns for doing Continuous Delivery / Continuous Deployment in Cloud environments. You will learn how to handle schema migrations, maintain dev/prod parity, manage configuration and scaling. This session will use Heroku as an example platform but the patterns could be implemented anywhere.

This has become my favorite sessions to present. So if you are going to be at Atlanta NFJS, then I hope to see you there!
