Guess how many software deployments Amazon did each day in 2012.

Approximately 23,000.

Of course, that’s Amazon. You don’t need anywhere near that many. But your slow, painful software development process leads to poor software quality, said embedded software specialist Jeff Gable at our last 10x Medical Device Conference.

If you want to learn modern DevOps practices to drastically improve your software quality and reduce development time, watch this video and download the slides.

Click here for a copy of the slides.

I won’t steal Jeff’s thunder, so visit the 10x blog here for the full transcript.

But to pique your curiosity, Jeff shared:

• Three principles. “Some very smart people looked at what lean manufacturing was doing,” Jeff said, “and thought, why don’t we apply these principles to software development?”

• Pre-requisites for continuous integration. First, your software must be version controlled. Second, your build process must be fully automated.

  Jeff went into some detail here, I’ll point you again to the article for his explanation and remaining pre-requisites.

• Putting this into practice. How are you going to get “there” from “here?”

Good stuff, Jeff, thank you for sharing!

A Top-Notch Faculty

You can expect speakers as gifted as Jeff at every 10x Medical Device Conference I host. (I hate boring speeches probably more than you do. No lie.)

These are just a few faculty members I’d like you to meet in mid-May.

And for every two “Works” registrations, send a third employee for free.
