CI/CD Evolution: From Pipelines to AI-Powered DevOps • Olaf Molenveld & Julian Wood • GOTO 2025

Olaf Molenveld (CircleCI) and Julian Wood (AWS) discuss the evolution of CI/CD practices. They draw parallels between managing production code and the 'factory' that produces it, covering optimization strategies, local vs. remote development, the rise of platform engineering, and how AI is reshaping DevOps by acting as both an expert system and a guarded collaborator.
