best practices for code movement (branching or integration);

continuous integration and testing;

infrastructure as code;

package and dependency management;

software deployment and delivery;

code signing and certificate management;

continuous delivery, deployment, installation, and updates;

feature toggles or flags;

cloud provisioning and management;

release engineering for safety-critical systems (healthcare, automotive, and so on);

experience reports on adoption of modern release-engineering techniques; and

pipeline security or testing.

More details available on the CFP

We’d love to hear some great release engineering stories, let me know if have any questions regarding possible topics or the submission process!
