Overview

Continuous Feedback creates a 'virtuous cycle' where data from production (logs, metrics, user behavior) and the delivery pipeline (test results, build times) is fed back to developers and product managers.

Sources of Feedback

  • Automated Tests: Fast feedback on code quality.
  • Observability Tools: Insights into performance and errors in production.
  • User Analytics: Data on how features are actually being used.
  • Post-mortems: Lessons learned from failures.

Benefits

  • Data-Driven Decisions: Prioritize work based on real-world evidence.
  • Faster Learning: Quickly understand the impact of changes.
  • Improved Quality: Identify and address recurring issues more effectively.
