They explore how modern software delivery has transformed from simple monolithic deployments to complex microservices ecosystems, drawing parallels between managing production code and managing the "factory" that produces it. The discussion covers optimization strategies, the balance between local and remote development, platform engineering trends, and how AI is reshaping DevOps practices. Olaf emphasizes that getting software into users' hands is as critical as writing it, and shares how teams can leverage observability, right-sizing, and intelligent automation to improve their delivery pipelines.
