Today, software engineering involves a rapid cycle of developing, testing, deploying and release, and supporting new software versions for increasingly complex platforms. All too often, releases become stressful events, filled with last-minute surprises that disrupt business processes.
In the wake of recent global IT outages, the importance of robust deployment strategies has never been more apparent. These incidents highlight the serious repercussions of failed deployments, impacting millions of users and businesses globally. This serves as a wake-up call that underscored the value and importance of effective software release management.
Vsceptre’s Release Management Optimization Program aim to transform your challenging software deployment process into a seamless experience through controlled feature management practices. By separating deployments from releases, implementing progressive release strategies, proactive monitoring and rollbacks, targeting audience segments, and utilizing runtime configuration management, you can achieve smoother deployments with reliable and safeguarded releases, resulting in increased productivity, saving cost, and enhancing the overall user experiences.
Key Objectives
With LaunchDarkly technology, traditional deployment workflows can be decoupled into distinct phases: deployment and release. This allows new code to reside in a production environment without being executed — commonly known as a dark launch. This approach provides a safety net, enabling teams to lower risk and deploy more frequently with confidence.
Additionally, proactively identifying and addressing software issues before they impact customers is incredibly valuable. Once your software is released, the newly launched features will be monitored closely, allowing for a one-click rollback if any issues arise.
You can also deliver targeted and personalized software experiences by:
- Customizing experiences based on user preferences.
- Tailoring features to match users’ mobile devices and app versions.
- Providing targeted experiences based on region, geography, and other factors.
- Gradually rolling out features to specific segments, beginning with internal testers.
