Mike Bryzek of Flow.io on Testing in Production

This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences. In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Mike Bryzek – CTO and founder of Flow.io about his background in philanthropy, his current role at Flow.io and how they have empowered developers and adopted testing in production in order to raise the quality of their software. Why listen to this podcast: • The value of volunteerism and philanthropy for good through focusing on outcomes • Testing in production helps make higher quality software • The importance of instrumenting the software so we get feedback in real time • Allowing the engineer to own the decision about when to release the software and be accountable for that decision results in better products because the engineers who build them carefully consider what they need to do to get the product truly ready for release • Testing in production may seem scary now, but it’s just another tool in the toolbox of building quality software – it’s the only way we can guarantee that the software is actually working as expected in the environment that it is intended for More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2sVXPoV You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2sVXPoV
