GitLab Commit 2019 - Brooklyn

This talk is about the practical realities of starting continuous deployments for legacy applications. GitLab releases every 22nd of the month to help their large, self-managed install base maintain consistency. However, as they are in the process of moving to Kubernetes, they are increasing the velocity of feature development (yay!) and that meant they needed the ability to deploy more regularly. Traditionally, talks and blog posts focus on adopting the latest Kubernetes-enabled, star-spangled CI/CD solution but Marin went the alternate route of pushing GitLab's existing legacy CI/CD system to the limit instead. This talk is the story of how Marin found success, both human and byte-sized.

Learn from an Engineering Manager at GitLab, as Marin jumps into not only why this migration is important but how to make it as effective and seamless as possible.
