'Breaking Down the Monolith: A journey toward CI/CD' - Interview with Lorien Rensing

When you're creating a brand new system, you can set it up from the beginning to work well with a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. With legacy systems, this isn't so easy. You may find yourself dealing with tightly coupled code, patchy test coverage, or bloated databases. But this doesn't mean you have to give up hope for taking advantage of the CI/CD model. Join me as I take you on a journey from deploying a monolith of code every two weeks to deploying incremental changes twice a week with lesk risk and more value to the customer, and see how we've changed over time and where we still have room to grow.
