Keep in mind that this also makes it easier for any Amazon employee to improve documentation. That's 1,000s of developers who are equally confused about AWS APIs and are incentivized to make it better.

> Once your test suite is bulletproof [...] you can deploy code using continuous delivery techniques

I see this line of reasoning a lot in the industry and I think it misses a key piece: monitoring/dev-ops.

Unlike the author, I think there is a clear progression from CI to CD. Where most teams stumble, is they are not prepared for the shift towards deploying new code regularly: measuring outcomes in production, running experiments, and validating assumptions against real traffic.

Developers tend to think their job is done once their PR merges, and therefore teams struggle to reap the benefits of continuous deployment.
