Delivery Engineering

Delivery engineering (DevOps, SRE, platform engineering) bridges development and operations: how do we get code to production safely? How do we manage infrastructure reliably? How do we recover from failures?

Good delivery engineering enables:

  • Speed: Deploy changes multiple times per day without fear
  • Safety: Rollbacks, staged rollouts, automated testing catch problems
  • Visibility: Know what's running where, and what changed
  • Reliability: Automate routine tasks; eliminate manual toil
  • Scaling: Handle 10x traffic without proportional effort

This section covers:

  • CI/CD Pipelines: Automate build, test, scan, and deployment
  • Infrastructure as Code: Define infrastructure in version control
  • Environments and Releases: Manage dev/test/staging/prod; version releases
  • Reliability Engineering: Error budgets, chaos engineering, automation
