How a frontend deployment happened at Shuttl and many other companies
QA testing in the traditional frontend deployment setup
How lightning deployments work and their conveniences
Benefits with QA testing
Benefits with previewing unreleased versions to customers
Dealing with bugs faster than ever before because of instant rollbacks
