Summary · Chapter 13

Delivering software at high velocity — frequent, reliable incremental value — is a competitive differentiator.
DevOps culture, practices, and technologies enable this.
Continuous integration (automated builds and testing) validates changes quickly; frequent check-ins make problems easier to detect and resolve.
Continuous delivery keeps systems deployable at any time, giving the option to release quickly and repeatably.
Some DevOps practices need no architectural change, but DevOps needs should inform requirements and design decisions — especially quality attributes like testability, deployability, and maintainability.
Next chapter: working on and with legacy applications (refactoring and integration challenges).
