CI/CD is a very mature market... (happy 20th b-day, Jenkins, you old rascal!) That doesn't mean it's lost its allure, though. AI-assisted coding, AI/ML projects & the outrageous scale of mobile app development are here to shake things up. And meeting these new demands won't be easy... ...which is why we're excited to share what we've been building here at Buildkite. (spoiler: it is not kites… 🙃) Today, we're proud to announce the launch of our new Scale-Out Delivery Platform – a way for software teams to confidently move beyond CI/CD... ...& turn delivery into their competitive advantage. "But what does this marketing PR stunt even mean?!?" we hear you snark! Happy to clarify. We describe it like this: Buildkite's Scale-Out Delivery Platform scales in four distinct dimensions: - concurrency - components - workloads - compute with the following tools to support them: - scalable workflow orchestration with Buildkite Pipelines - faster test workloads with Test Engine - secure artifact management with Package Registries - optimized mobile app delivery with Mobile Delivery Cloud With our new platform, your teams will be ready to handle anything – keeping innovation at the forefront (not treating it as “just one more thing…”). So, are you ready to tame complexity & turn software delivery into your competitive advantage? If "yes," visit Buildkite [dot] com to learn more & start your 30-day free trial. If "no," cool cool cool cool...just keep scrolling & enjoy the rest of your day. P.S. You can read more about the news here: https://lnkd.in/gVw9tanW

Lack of confidence is one of the biggest issues for software teams. - you take fewer risks - you become slower to deliver - you fall into habits of micromanagement This results in: - slower time to market - employee churn / burnout - falling behind your competition The most interesting bit is…if you: - empowered teams to take more risks - focused on shipping things faster - trusted employees to do their best work …confidence will begin to snowball. How have you seen confidence built (or broken) throughout your career? What advice would you have for teams struggling with lack of confidence?
