Instead of building software that resembles our existing organizations, we should figure out how we want our software to look, then build the organization around that. Or reorganize it if it's already in place.

"Consul has multiple components, but as a whole, it is a tool for discovering and configuring services in your infrastructure. It provides several key features: Service Discovery: Clients of Consul can provide a service, such as api or mysql, and other clients can use Consul to discover providers of a given service. Using either DNS or HTTP, applications can easily find the services they depend upon. Health Checking: Consul clients can provide any number of health checks, either associated with a given service ("is the webserver returning 200 OK"), or with the local node ("is memory utilization below 90%"). This information can be used by an operator to monitor cluster health, and it is used by the service discovery components to route traffic away from unhealthy hosts. Key/Value Store: Applications can make use of Consul's hierarchical key/value store for any number of purposes including: dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election, etc. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use. Multi Datacenter: Consul supports multiple datacenters out of the box. This means users of Consul do not have to worry about building additional layers of abstraction to grow to multiple regions. Consul is designed to be friendly to both the DevOps community and application developers, making it perfect for modern, elastic infrastructures."

When deploying a new feature, enhancing or fixing an existing capability, or deploying an experimental line of code, the previous code remains available and accessible. New code is deployed alongside the old code, with mechanisms in place to instantly route to one or another version.
-
Importantly, the old code is not replaced, but remains part of the system, and is kept running. If, as is often the case, the widespread introduction of the new feature results in unforeseen consequences, the feature flag can be toggled off, and the old version is instantly used instead.
