The economics of continuous delivery
summary
Continuous Delivery (CD) is evaluated as an economic investment: deploying less frequently increases hidden costs. The talk explains three causes of rising costs—Amplification (deploys take longer as interval grows), Bugs (older bugs cost more to fix), and Cost of Delay (longer intervals increase delay costs)—and presents a model showing integration and deployment costs grow superlinearly with the number of un-deployed commits, treating those commits as wasteful inventory.
