What is the Unit of Work in Modern Delivery?
summary
Claim: the unit of work shifts from a commit to the stream of external and runtime changes that actually affect users. Concrete failures include an ELB auto‑scale creating 15 nodes and some pulling a mutable Docker tag "latest" causing nondeterministic behavior, tests passing locally but failing in production because time or environment inputs differ, and a proposed mitigation to run downstream pipelines pre‑release for 20 consumer projects to catch regressions earlier. Continuous validation of change is the goal.
