PayPal currently supports 4+ generations of software stacks in production and runs 2k+ distinct microservices, which together provide customers with the fast and seamless user experience they expect. To maintain high quality while promoting happy, productive developers in such an environment, self-service tools with a high grade of automation under the hood are paramount. In this talk, I will tell the story of how PayPal moved from a "PayPal on a box"-test environment, to VM-based environments, and finally to a delivery pipeline leveraging our container platform. I will describe how our pipeline delivers containers to fly-away test environments for automated integration testing and how that paradigm shift impacted our engineering teams and their workflows. We will share our insights and learnings on what worked really well for us as well as how some of our learnings can be applied at other companies.

I just made another few minor edits to fix some grammatical errors in my previous version.
