Continuous Deployment at Lyft

Continuous Deployment at Lyft

摘要

Continuous Deployment (CD) is when software changes, such as new features and fixes, are automatically deployed to our customers as quickly and safely as possible. At Lyft, we pride ourselves on “making it happen”, so in 2019 we set out to move from our manual deployment process to CD. The microservice architecture at Lyft made our path to CD challenging, as adoption required changing how each team maintained and deployed their services. Not only did we have to make configuration changes to each service, but most importantly we had to drive cultural changes in how each team approached and performed their deployments. We recently hit a new milestone of 90+% of our approximately 1,000 services using CD to deploy to production. We would like to share the journey, technical details, and challenges we faced.
