Summary

Buildkite has launched the world's first Scale-Out Delivery Platform to address the lagging state of software delivery tools, emphasizing the importance of having robust delivery systems alongside software creation. The platform is designed to encourage innovation, be adaptable to individual company needs, and efficiently scale with business growth, enabling companies to deliver value rapidly. The blog post highlights the significance of having a good delivery tool that fosters a "Delivery First" mindset, wherein software delivery is integral to a company's culture and product design, analogous to how Netflix innovated with streaming against Blockbuster's traditional model. The post also shares the experience of Shopify, which transformed its delivery process by adopting Buildkite, reducing deployment times drastically and enhancing team culture and innovation. The philosophy of continuous deployment and integrating security and governance into the process from the start is central to Buildkite's approach, advocating that a focus on delivery can lead to success.
