It’s possible in many even heavily regulated domains, because there’s enough data now for regulators that it reduces risk. Releasing multiple times a day in itself isn’t the point though. The point is — adopting good practices to ensure trunk based development is pain-free. It’s about ensuring the release process is as automated as possible (if you’re releasing once a month, you are exercising your deployment process 12 times a year. When you’re exercising your deployment process 12 times a day, it really encourages you to work the kinks out.) It’s also ensuring that your monitoring and alerting can keep up. Essentially it’s a signal to the entire org that “We will move fast. Deal with it.” There’s data out there from even large non-FAANG orgs now about how this approach reduces sevs instead of increasing them.
