Starting with the adoption of Agile development practices, Ancestry.com has progressed to a continuous delivery model to enable code release whenever the business requires it. Transitioning from large, weekly or bi-weekly software rollouts to smaller, incremental updates has allowed Ancestry.com to increase responsiveness and deliver new features to customers more quickly. Ancestry.com has come a long way in regards to developing a continuous delivery model and will continue to evolve to further adapt to the fast changing pace of the market.

The lessons learned from our efforts in building a  continuous delivery model have been featured in TechTarget’s SearchSoftwareQuality online magazine. You can view our photo story here.
