- Our releases / deployments now include less RPMs, by default, meaning that our build process is shorter.
- This reduction in build "weight" means that the feedback cycle for engineers who are integrating new code is shorter / quicker.
- And so in turn we can integrate more things more quickly, as long as they continue to be lighter touches and smaller, more atomic changes.
