Having worked with Gitflow for years, we have recently transitioned to a Trunk Based Development approach to accommodate the expanding needs of our product.

During this session, we'll quickly go over the differences between both branching strategies before diving into why we switched. We'll then explore the steps we undertook to make the transition possible: We'll discuss how we restructured our software development lifecycle, the initiatives we set up to foster the adoption, how did we use Feature Flags to achieve Continuous Deployment, how Feature Environments and Non-Regression Tests upped our confidence in shipping to production every day, and finally we will share the mistakes we made along the way.

By the end of the presentation, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of Trunk Based Development helping you to decide whether it's appropriate for your engineering teams.

What do Chefs and Tech Leads have in common? Both are seen as creative and highly skilled professionals, but great Chefs also have secret ingredients to ensure their success.

Interestingly, these same ingredients can be employed by Tech Leads to help them reach their goals. Let's explore this fascinating connection between Gastronomy and Software Engineering!
