At VMware we define Continuous Verification as:
“A process of querying external systems and using information from the response to make decisions to improve the development and deployment process.”
At Serverless Nashville, I got a chance to not only talk about what that means for serverless apps but also how we use serverless in some of the business units at VMware.

Continuous Verification is an extension to the development and deployment processes companies already have. It focuses on optimizing both the development and deployment experience by looking at security, performance, and cost. At most companies, some of these steps are done manually or scripted, but they’re rarely part of the actual deployment pipeline. In this session, we look at extending an existing CI/CD pipeline with checks for security, performance, and cost to make a decision on whether to deploy or not.
