- Continuous Delivery without multi-versioning is irresponsible
Benefits of continuous delivery:
- reduced technical risk of releases
- faster time to market
- deal with product faults and recalls a lot cheaper (than your competition)
- take away the drama from releases
- make things run smoothly and predictably
- customers tend to feel more entitlement
- multi-versioning opens up some amazing business capabilities, like:
- gentle/gradual release of high risk or experimental features
- running product experiments on 1% of the live user base to prove costly assumptions;
- offering early access to premium customers
- hot-fixing and preventing problems much cheaper than before;
- running marketing initiatives around marketing events rather than technical deployment capabilities.
continuous delivery must:
- keep users in the clear;
- maintain users’ steady flow of work or sessions; and
- facilitate and soothe marketing initiatives.
