I hope you're keeping all of your source code in version control.

If you’re not… seriously… why not? It’s 2021 already.

Okay, seriously, if you’re not keeping your source code in version control /contact. Really. Tell me why.

But version control can be used for so much more than source code.

According to Accelerate:

What was most interesting was that keeping system and application configuration in version control was more highly correlated with software delivery performance than keeping application code in version control.

Now isn’t that interesting?

To what extent are you keeping your system and application configuration in version control? What’s preventing you from moving in that direction?
