<P STYLE="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" DIR="ltr"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">In 2010, Betterment was built and deployed - once every couple weeks - by three people to physical, rented servers. It was boring, stable, and it worked. Today, Betterment painlessly releases code every day written by 30+ engineers and designers, supported by a dedicated DevOps team of infrastructure and automation engineers. Betterment deploys Wordpress, Java/SpringMVC, and JRuby on Rails applications on AWS, provisioned and orchestrated by Ansible and Jenkins. But, really, Betterment shouldn't need a DevOps team. Tomorrow, every engineer will build, test, and ship in the same mind. Join Alan to discuss discuss Betterment's path to CD and its migration to AWS as part of that effort, pitfalls along the way, current difficulties the team stills encounter and how they're fixing them.</SPAN></P>
