Continuous Discussions (#c9d9): Episode 27 Recap – Architecting for Continuous Delivery

• How do Microservices, service-orientation design in general, and decoupling strategies affect your delivery pipeline?
• What should you take into account when orchestrating your pipeline and the way you manage your environments?
• How to manage database schema changes or messaging as part of architecting oyur app to enable Continuous Delivery?
• and more..
