The role of automated guardrails and release verification in progressive delivery. Product and engineering leaders are feeling pressured to innovate fast while ensuring that nothing breaks in the process, all while being challenged with resource constraints and team burnout. They want to quickly understand if their releases are making things better or worse, so that they can take fast action to preserve their user experience.

If you're doing gradual rollouts, they do add some safety to releases, but you're still leaving risk on the table with traditional feature management tools alone. With feature flags, there is no longer a single version of an application. You may have a unique combination of features enabled and disabled, making it hard to detect issues and pinpoint their root cause.

This session explores how you can use measurement to quickly find and fix issues during gradual rollouts using Split's Instant Feature Impact Detection (IFID). With pinpoint precision, IFID helps you quickly catch issues that affect your application that even your APM will miss, so you can know with certainty if the software rollout should progress to 100% or be turned off.
