The Morning Paper Issue 7 - Experimentation, Optimisation and Learning

Bookmarks

I’m sure you’ve come across the term “Cloud Native” to describe an approach to IT which assumes and embraces the characteristics of cloud platforms. While cloud-native has been stealing all the attention recently, there’s another shift that’s just as important: the move towards becoming a “Data Native” organisation.  

For this edition of The Morning Paper Quarterly Review I’ve chosen a set of papers that illustrate what the data natives are up to: how they embed experimentation, optimisation, and learning into everything they do. If you thought continual delivery was the end game, for data natives this is just the necessary pre-requisite.

You’ll learn some of the hard-won lessons from running thousands of experiments a year across Bing, MSN, Skype, Office, and Xbox, as well as from firms like Amazon, LinkedIn, Booking.com and Microsoft.  If you are involved in product design, particularly on web-based applications, there is a tremendous amount of value in this issue.
