You already know Progressive Delivery. You just didn’t call it that. Progressive Delivery is not brand new. The pattern is older than software. What is new is that software teams need to find a way to do this while operating at faster and faster rates of production.

Engineering Built It. Now You Drive It. Progressive Delivery decouples deployment from release. In a traditional model, these happen at the exact same time. Bang. In Progressive Delivery, they are separated by hours, days, or weeks. This separation is where your power lives.

Happening in a few hours. Looking forward to chatting with @azimman.bsky.social Hope to see you there! (pssst, first 20 registrants get a free copy of the book)
Dan Moore@mooreds.com · 4mo agoHere's the link! I think it was available yesterday and I just missed it: fusionauth.io/webinar/prog...
Next week I get to chat with @azimman.bsky.social about Progressive delivery. He literally wrote the book on it. We'll talk about what progessive delivery is, how identity and authn fit into it, and more. I don't think signup is up yet, but it'll be at fusionauth.io/webinar eventually.

"Autonomy is about people making decisions on their own, based on the objectives of their project or task. After all, if you can’t actually use resources as you need to, then what good are they to you?" —Progressive Delivery, by James Governor, Kim Harrison, Heidi Waterhouse, and Adam Zimman

AI kicked my SaaS
the Human Connection Moat For thirty years, the "build versus buy" debate was the persistent game of tetherball in the CTO’s office. It was a rational, if often heated, accounting exercise. On one side: the allure of ultimate control—software tailored perfectly to your unique business logic, free from the constraints of a vendor’s roadmap. On the other: the pragmatic realization that recreating wheels is a waste of talent.

Dampening the Jerk: Why AI-Powered e13n is good for UX We’ve all felt it. You wake up, open an app you use every day, and suddenly the "Buy" button is gone, replaced by a "Shopping Bag" icon buried in a sub-menu. Or perhaps the checkout flow you could navigate in your sleep now requires three…
Dampening the Jerk: Why AI-Powered e13n is good for UX
We’ve all felt it. You wake up, open an app you use every day, and suddenly the "Buy" button is gone, replaced by a "Shopping Bag" icon buried in a sub-menu. Or perhaps the checkout flow you could navigate in your sleep now requires three extra clicks. In physics, the rate of change in acceleration is called Jerk. In software development, Technological Jerk is that jarring, motion-sick feeling users experience when the product changes faster than their ability to adapt.

10 Minutes of Progressive Delivery
Recently, I was lucky enough to be invited to present at the DORA community coffee chat. The discussion is the really amazing part of these conversations, but it also encouraged me to create a short version of our talk! In other awesome news this week, Progressive Delivery (the book) won the DevOps Dozen community award! Amazing.

How to Sunset a Feature (and Keep Your Users)
When we talk to teams about Progressive Delivery they are often most interested in learning how they can move faster without introducing technological jerk for their users. They want to innovate, but realize they also want to build the right thing for the right people at the right time. We love this. However it's also worth mentioning there is an upside down world to product delivery.

Navigating the Tech Jerks of 2025: A Snapshot of Acceleration in Action
We’ve always been fascinated by the concept of the “tech jerk”—that sudden, often uncomfortable change in the acceleration of a product or service that disrupts the user’s experience. Borrowed from physics, where jerk describes a change in acceleration (think of a lurching elevator or a car braking too hard), the term perfectly captures how poorly managed technological change can leave users feeling disoriented, frustrated, or even abandoned.

Video and transcript of our talk from ETLS, on the basic concepts of Progressive Delivery, radical delegation, and adding users to the DevOps loop.
The Progressive Delivery Manifesto
One of the interesting problems of being immersed in something for years is that it feels really obvious to you. The curse of knowledge is real. So we were really excited to give a talk at IT Revolution's conference, the Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit. It gave us a chance to lay out our vision of what Progressive Delivery is, and what it may be in the future.

Customization Complications
On the surface, letting people have all the customizations anyone has ever asked for seems like a great way to get alignment with what they want. They'll just use the things they need! And maybe they want something they haven't thought to ask for. But that's just the first thought, because the more options a piece of software has, the more work it takes to understand it, and the faster the users need to accept change. The interface gets cluttered. Then it gets horrendous. Then it looks like the administration view of Jira.

The Progressive Delivery book released today! We're very much like proud parents, and we want to show you why.
Launch Day!
Progressive Delivery is a book that released today, but it's us catching the wild yeasts of the last few years and cultivating them into wine and sourdough. We don't know exactly how it will turn out, but we truly believe that our principles are correct, and that this is the way that software is moving, and must continue to move. We are the ones who wrote it down, but you are the ones who will taste it, cultivate it, learn to see it in your world, and expand it in ways we never imagined.

Swearing at software is a kind of voice command. If only the product team could hear it.
Consent of the Upgraded
Software users, especially in the enterprise, are a captive audience, until they aren't. How do we respect their experience and their capacity to consent?
