What does it mean for app dev? More threats, More pressure, Move faster….But where's the help? Oh, sure, just put it in the cloud, that will take care of it. Sound familiar?

If you are fortunate (at least I think it's fortunate) to work for an organization that expects the development team to turn technology into a competitive advantage then you have to deliver fast and deliver continuously.
