Completing the Promise of CI/CD with Continuous Merge

Pull requests have become the No. 1 undiagnosed bottleneck in engineering…and we have the data to prove it. After analyzing 1,000,000 pull requests, LinearB has uncovered CI/CD’s greatest weakness and - thankfully - a eureka moment that will forever change the developer experience: Continuous Merge.

Here’s the dirty little secret: not all PRs are created equal. They don’t all need the same level of effort and some of them don’t need any human intervention at all--it’s just a matter of using data and context to know which is which and creating intelligent automation workflows to handle PRs appropriately. In this session, Luke Kilpatrick, Director of Developer Experience of LinearB will dive deep into how to change your processes and your team can adopt Continuous Merge and other practices to merge and release faster, with higher quality.

Join this session to learn:

• The metrics and insight you need to identify bottlenecks and take action
• The PR paradox and why treating them all the same just doesn’t work
• The principle of Continuous Merge (CM) and how it’s enabled with gitStream
• How LinearB can help you to streamline code delivery and improve the developer experience
