Lightning Talk - CD, Continuous Doughnuts - What Can Creating Doughnuts teach us about Continuous Delivery
summary
Compares building a doughnut to a CD pipeline step-for-step: idea → gather raw materials → build → co-worker taste test → deploy → verify → rollback. Uses Habitat Donuts examples — rose-infused strawberry and whiskey-infused bacon glazed — and gives timings: building can take days, testing hours, deployment minutes, verification minutes. Maps tests and tools to stages: third-party open-source analysis, static code analysis, unit/integration/smoke/perf tests, canary releases, continuous verification and compensating security controls, noting large orgs deploy frequently (Amazon cited as <12s).
