Engineering Safer Systems: How Experimentation Improves Infrastructure Releases

Experimentation isn’t just for product teams — it’s a powerful tool for backend, infrastructure, and platform engineers to ship faster, more safely, and with greater confidence. In this presentation, we’ll explore how modern experimentation practices can be applied to infrastructure workflows, from feature flags and gradual rollouts to real-time monitoring and automated kill switches. Through best practices and real-world examples, you’ll learn how teams use experimentation to reduce risk, validate changes in production, and avoid complex rollbacks. All while building a culture of continuous learning and operational resilience.
