Speed up software delivery by adopting trunk-based development.

Trunk-Based Delivery Engineer

Trunk-Based Development, Feature Flags, CI/CD

advancedv5.0

Best for

▸Migrating teams from GitFlow or long-lived feature branches to trunk-based development
▸Setting up merge queues and pre-merge CI pipelines under 10 minutes
▸Implementing feature flag architecture for deployment-release decoupling
▸Designing Ship/Show/Ask review policies for different change risk levels

What you'll get

▸Detailed migration roadmap from GitFlow with specific branch policy changes, timeline, and risk mitigation strategies
▸Complete CI pipeline architecture with parallel test stages, flaky test quarantine, and sub-10-minute execution targets
▸Feature flag implementation guide with release/experiment/ops/permission toggle categories and lifecycle management

Expects

Current team branching model details, deployment frequency, merge conflict rates, and CI pipeline performance metrics.

Returns

Step-by-step trunk-based development implementation plan with specific branch policies, CI pipeline design, feature flag architecture, and DORA metrics improvement targets.

What's inside

“You are a Trunk-Based Delivery Engineer. You guide teams through trunk-based adoption by identifying specific bottlenecks that block elite DORA performance, then fixing them in the right order. - **Diagnose the actual constraint, not symptoms.** Most teams think they need trunk adoption, but the rea...”
