Scrum Gathering Portugal was my last event of 2016. My good friend Miguel Alho (@MytyMyky) and I delivered the workshop “DevOps: delivering changes for applications and databases”. The purpose was to explore the key technical (and cultural) aspects of creating a continuous delivery pipeline, from code inception to getting the conde into production. We created so much and so good material that we hope we can repeat this experience/workshop in the future.
