The Past and Future of Feature Release
With the right tools and frameworks, feature releases can occur multiple times a day, and many developers feel equipped to work more independently, under less unnecessary pressure. What does this look like in practice? Can developers really move fast and thrive?
Developers like you deserve an experience that gives you autonomy and minimizes stress
In today’s tech environment, advocating for these key elements of the developer experience isn’t easy. With more companies downsizing their teams and halting their hiring efforts, you may feel like you don’t want to rock the boat—even if you’re sinking. You don’t want to look ungrateful by requesting more autonomy, better processes, and additional resources.
Work/Life Balance
You should be enabled to deliver high-quality code and still have the time and energy to do things outside of work.
Teamwork
You should collaborate with, learn from, and earn the respect of your equally talented peers.
Creative Freedom
You should feel valued by your organization and given the space to tackle problems with creative ideas.
Solving for Feature Release Friction
Today’s developers face numerous challenges related to feature releases. This includes the mounting focus on business needs that can send developers into burnout territory. It doesn’t have to come to that. Here are four pain points that can be tempered with tooling.
Pain Point #2: Looming Threats of Errors and Downtime
Causing an outage or releasing an error into production is the stuff of nightmares for engineers.
Pain Point #3: Slow Release Cycles Impact Workload, Consistency, and Motivation
Developers want to be able to move fast, delivering on new product features at scale.
Pain Point #4: The Ongoing Desire for Autonomy and Freedom
Given the time and space, you would probably happily contemplate ways to make things better, faster, and more efficient.
