TestOps: A Journey to Story-Based Releases
summary
A year-long overhaul moves a perpetually broken main branch and chaotic test environment to true story-based releases: switch 50 microservices from separate repos into a monorepo, speed pipelines with Helm charts + Kubernetes, and create up to 30 short-lived dynamic story namespaces so every branch gets an isolated dev environment. Add GitLab pipelines, test catchers that validate outbound messages, and ACC gating for external integrations; deployment time and merge risk drop, and story releases work.
