Accelerating Time To Market
summary
Yandex Business describes tackling slow five‑day releases after growth from 8 to ~65 engineers and a ~120× larger codebase by moving to trunk‑based development and slicing the monolith into 65 microservices. They introduced a ready‑to‑copy service template, automated CI/CD, and feature flags for realtime text and UI changes to cut deploy latency to 10–40 minutes, add double testing for critical infra, and enable quick rollbacks or fixes (~10 minutes) so many small safe releases replace big risky ones.
