When software delivery stalls or becomes brittle, we look to people and process to determine what went wrong. However, fixing infrastructure friction within your delivery pipelines is a potential goldmine for unlocking team velocity. 

Too many tools of the same kind, too many self-hosted tools, or rolling out one toolchain across all areas leads to quick fixes and workarounds. For platform engineers, the challenge is to identify where teams need more options, without abandoning the appropriate constraints.

Whether you’re looking for small changes that make a big impact, or a complete rebuild, this panel discussion explores the modern architectural aspects of CI/CD that enable more effective software delivery.

Key takeaways:

  • Identify exactly where infrastructure friction is occurring
  • Start eliminating the unnecessary sources of this friction
  • How to allow greater developer autonomy in tool selection while maintaining robust delivery practices
