Description:

Drew has employed continuous integration since working at startups in 2008. He will discuss different methods of using Jenkins (née Hudson), from running PHPUnit, JUnit, Rspec, and Selenium tests to automating deployment. Drew will also detail how Palomino Labs uses Jenkins with Git and feature branches, testing of interdependent projects, and deploying Jenkins in AWS for clients.

About the speaker:

Drew’s expertise lies in high-traffic web services, big data, and building hyper-efficient software teams. At Clearspring, Drew created and supported APIs that handled 6 million daily requests, monitored detailed metrics from processing clusters with hundreds of nodes, and delivered thousands of events per second to users in real-time. Drew is skilled in systems administration and takes automation seriously, ruthlessly applying the Unix adage "if you do it twice, you're doing it wrong". As a certified Scrum Master, Drew worked alongside Ryan to build a kaizen-based development organization at Genius.com capable of delivering high-quality products as-promised and on-time. Drew spends his time away from computers lifting heavy things and racing cars that are well past their prime.
