3 surprises when Continuously Deploying infrastructure
What is Continuously Deployed infrastructure?
code change CI running infrastructure
Fast feedback is key
Get iteration time down
< 5 minutes
Track cycle time (min, max, median, 95e)
Get CI close to the action
Eliminate latency
Chunk your changes
Change one, Test one
Make it work Make it right Make it fast
Make it work Make it fast Make it right
1. Validate idea 2. Pay off technical debt
Consider eliminating gates
idea production
Staging slows feedback
1. Extra tasks every change 2. Less changes pushed into
production 3. Lingering state 4. Higher costs
BUT it can provide high quality feedback
1. Your changes must apply faster 2. 80% coverage is
good enough
Don’t start with a staging environment
Find other ways to detect errors
Think fast and slow
Fast tests
Smoke tests
< 10 seconds
Change one, Test one
1. Change app 2. Change DB 3. Change proxy 4.
Test app 5. Test DB 6. Test proxy 4. Test app 5. Test DB 6. Test proxy
1. Change app 2. Test app 3. Change DB 4.
Test DB 5. Change proxy 6. Test proxy fail early 1. Change app 2. Test app 3. Change DB 4. Test DB 5. Change proxy 6. Test proxy
Make feedback visual
None
Slow tests
Full stack Integration tests
Things you should test
Flow of data
Example: - Change DNS record - Check record after TTL
Simulated client interactions
Example (AP): - Write data to store - Query each
node has data within n seconds
Hook into monitoring
Example: - CI runs slow tests - Monitoring queries CI
Ship monitoring with code
Expose discoverable endpoints
Biggest surprise?
Actually possible
Push all changes through CI
More visibility
Faster to change Faster to fix
Thank you! Questions?
