Accelerating Product Delivery: A CTO’s Guide to Automating Development Environments

With the growth in popularity of online retailing and technological advancement, today, eCommerce customer expectations are sky-high. Over the last years, in particular, Amazon Prime and same-day delivery have fueled customers’ ‘want it now’ mentality.

Year after year, online retailers register record earnings on Black Friday and the following weekend. And we bet you want a piece (as big as possible) of those earnings too.

One of the things that keep online shop owners awake at night is – will my website withstand the Black Friday traffic? As this is one of the most important days of the year, a downtime of even a few minutes can translate into thousands of dollars in losses.

This challenge was for our colleagues a great time to step away from the computer. Put the self-critic aside and do some exploratory writing to take the pressure off.

Black Friday is the most important event of the year for eCommerce shops. However, it’s not a stress-free day for most online retailers. Why? Because there are many technical issues that can cause Black Friday website crashes.

Writing about your evolution, behaviours, deficiencies and feelings forces you to think about them. And that can be scary. Maybe there are things that you don’t want to remember or things that you may regret. But, writing about it helps you work through these thoughts. And find a way that maybe helps you to improve what you think can be improved.

This one’s a major milestone in Bunnyshell’s lifecycle, and for our team as well. It gives us confidence that we’re on track, and that we’re building a product that brings true value to people’s lives.

Our colleague, Mihaela, the newest member of the Bunnyshell team, also took on the challenge “Looking within to see beyond”. She admitted that even if “oneself” is the topic one should know a lot about, it is not the easiest thing. But, despite getting out of the comfort zone, she learned to blush and bear it. She honestly and enthusiastically wrote about her love for technology, accomplishments, experience and skills.

If you’re having trouble with constant deployments that take hours of DevOps, manually scaling your servers and high cloud spend, we’re going to show you how to overcome them by using a cloud infrastructure management tool.

Writing about yourself is hard! You sit down and try to find the right words in your mind, but nothing happens. You write and rewrite. But when you read again that sounds probably awkward. It seems like it is not actually about you. This is the typical scenario when you’re supposed to write an about me section.
