CircleCI

?? Thoughtworks’ latest Technology Radar Report moved Continuous Deployment to the Adopt ring, and we couldn’t agree more! ?? Continuous Deployment is no longer a nice-to-have—it's a strategic enabler of fast, reliable value delivery. Using CI ?2.0? platforms like CircleCI help teams to automate deployment for every change (even beyond code), so they can get faster feedback loops, experience fewer fires, and ship software at scale more confidently.

What happens when the largest IT outage in history hits critical industries? We dug deep into the data to find out. ?? Airlines: Activity surged by 129% as teams raced to deploy fixes. ?? Banking: Cautious pauses led to a 22% drop in production workflows. ?? Pharma: Emphasis on risk management led to a 20% drop in workflows. The latest issue of the Confident Commit newsletter uncovers how teams that embrace DevOps across sectors adapted—and remained resilient—during the CrowdStrike crisis.

We had an amazing time at the Enterprise DevOps Summit Berlin 2024 with the CircleCI team! Super impressed by the high quality of the talks, interactions and of course the attendees. Some of my personal takeaways: - Scaling DevOps and Agile is a challenge, and typically more a cultural than a technical challenge. - As Europeans (I'm from the Netherlands btw), we care about "the data", as it should be ;) - Regulations and compliancy are big topics, and one of the more interesting ones is "compliancy-as-code" for f.e. CI/CD pipelines. - Jenkins is still a thing, and often it's the "scary box in the corner that nobody wants to touch because it might bite you" :) - The move from "on-premises" and "self-managed/self-hosted" towards cloud-native is happening, and hybrid setups are an attractive stepping-stone. - Measuring DevOps maturity and performance is practiced (f.e. using DORA or SAFe DevOps Health Radar). - ML/AI is on the radar, but due to compliancy and regulations, it's typically applied in an experimental setting, but this could change quickly.

?? "One of the biggest challenges engineering leaders face is aligning across an organization. The goal is to get more leverage out of the work we do, not solve the same problem in different pockets. Duplication is a trade-off between short-term throughput and long-term efficiency, and it often builds up as debt across your organization." Earlier this year, CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber joined us on Dev Interrupted, where he talked about the importance of alignment in engineering teams—not just for improving efficiency but for making sure that every effort moves the business forward. And he’s right! Improving developer productivity is only one part of leading a successful engineering organization. You also need to be aligned with solving problems that drive the business forward. On November 20th and 21st, Rob will join our virtual roundtable with Tara Hernandez (VP of Developer Productivity, MongoDB) and Yishai Beeri (CTO, LinearB) for the 2025 Software Engineering Benchmarks Report. They’ll share insights into leveraging team efforts, reducing duplication, and aligning engineering to business goals.

AI-generated code in production—yay or nay? ?? Are you confident in your coding assistant or are you steering clear from AI-generated code entirely? Let us know below:

One of the biggest issues in deployment workflows is keeping track of releases without making it a full-time job. I’m excited to share a new feature on CircleCI that does just that at no extra cost. Here’s what I’ve found most helpful: 1. CircleCI automatically detects releases in your pipelines—no setup hoops to jump through. Include “deploy” in your job names, and CircleCI will recognize and track it as a release. It's as simple as that. 2. These give you a clear record?of every deployment across your environments, log each release, and link to your pipelines. No more digging through logs to see what changed. 3. You can monitor deployments within the CircleCI platform with a UI that ties everything together. And here’s the kicker: It’s included. There's no need to add extra tools or costs just to keep release management clean and easy. I’m proud of this feature—a small tweak that significantly impacts keeping workflows focused and friction-free. Check it out, and let me know what you think! https://lnkd.in/e-Dcwzhh #cicd #circleci #releases #wendysspicychickenforthewin
