From one release per quarter to 30 times a day

" summary

Claims moving a legacy MVC app from quarterly releases to 30 times a day by rearchitecting into value‑stream teams, moving to Azure app services, and automating CI/CD with Azure DevOps builds and release pipelines. Demonstrates right‑click publish replaced by build pipelines, deployment slots and Blue/Green deployments, telemetry via Application Insights, and a database migration playbook for zero‑downtime schema changes. Uses feature flags (feature toggles) for controlled exposure and telemetry‑gated releases; demo shows automated deploys and gradual traffic shifts working end‑to‑end.
