  • I’ve been doing this for the past 10 years or so. When I joined my current company a few years ago, it was one of the first things I pushed for. It made cycle times go down drastically and value is being delivered to end users at a much higher rate now.

    With enough tests and automation, there is almost no reason not do on the web. On embedded or mobile platforms this might be a bit more difficult, although not entirely impossible.

    The use of feature toggles also greatly enhanced our trust in being able to turn a feature off again if it turned out to be faulty somehow. Although we usually opt for patching bugs, it gives the business as a whole more confidence.



  • Not amateurish at all, but good questions. I’m not confident enough to answer your second question, but on your first question: yes, you can use the hosting service you already have. Given that you are renting a VPS that is. It looks like Strato is calling this “hosting”. Don’t use their “WordPress hosting” package for this though, as it won’t allow you to install the instance software.
