Navigating the Obstacles of Continuous Delivery

Mastering the art of Continuous Delivery is about more than just pushing code onto a server. It’s a delicate balance of managing your technology and the people who interact with it. One major stumbling block? The tiny differences between machines that happen when someone decides to make ad-hoc changes.
