"You guys ALWAYS forget non-web applications. " I've almost always delivered to metal or VMs at the edge with every endpoint representing a different set of active features and configurations. CD made this so much easier. SpaceX releases OS changes for the Falcon 9 from HEAD up to 45 min before launch. They also have the best safety record of any launch system. They do this because branches introduced regression problems. They decided to take testing seriously instead. Take testing seriously.

@user0K Not knowing how to deliver software well is something I run across frequently. However, I wouldn't confuse your lack of knowing with knowing a better way.

@einfacherkerl3279 Odd, I've done it that way for a LONG time. It's never seemed impossible or even a big challenge. Yes, you can selectively release features with CD. Not only that, but you can do it with much more confidence.

@einfacherkerl3279 "also you can't force approval because it comes from elsewhere. are you going to get the approval from the product owner at gun point?" This is why CD is also VERY effective at uncovering the dysfunction in your organization. "Why can't we deliver and get feedback today to reduce the cost of change, improve quality, and achieve our business goals?" "We are waiting on the PO to get around to approving things."
