How to transition from Gitflow to Trunk-Based development

What's this blog post about?

Transitioning from Gitflow to Trunk-Based Development involves moving from a multi-branch workflow to a single-branch approach focused on continuous integration and rapid iteration. Key differences between the two models include branching, release management, and integration. Reasons for adopting trunk-based development include faster releases, reduced complexity, enhanced collaboration, compatibility with CI/CD pipelines, and improved code quality. The transition process involves gradual workflow changes, dynamic CI pipelines, modern build tools, feature flags for safety, defining code ownership, adjusting code review processes, branch management and versioning, integrating merge queues, addressing potential challenges, and incorporating monitoring and observability.
