How Continuous Delivery practices help to smooth the Package Delivery - Adrian Moreno

As an e-commerce customer, we care about being able to browse the websites of our favourite shops, check and compare product details and a frictionless purchase process. After that, nowadays we also expect to get timely and accurate updates about our purchase status, to know where it is every moment and when it will get to its destination.
How do continuous delivery practices help online retailers align with the customer expectations, and be able to coordinate large enterprise systems to provide the best possible experience for the users?

Emakina collaborates with brands such as HEMA, Intersport and RITUALS on their omnichannel experience - from the client discovery to the delivery of the product. Over the years, the process of developing a successful online store has been polished. The result of these iterations is an agile development process, always with the end user in mind. The objective is delivering new features and data in a fast, constant and reliable manner. In order for the users to perceive this continuous improvement, it’s needed to align both the online and offline experience with the customer expectations.

Speaker: Adrian Moreno - Tech Lead at Emakina. Adrian is a computer engineer with over a decade of experience in diverse positions and technologies, ranging from software developer to co-founder of a development agency, to CTO of an AdTech company - in an equally diverse environment: from web development to system administration, including mobile development or more managerial positions. But as his passion is technology - at Emakina he has been focusing on large-scale e-commerce projects, and the good practices around this particular ecosystem.

Jenkins pipeline with OpenShift/Kubernetes - Paul Reinking

A showcase of what we have learned over the past months when using Jenkins with OpenShift/Kubernetes in production on the Azure platform.
Based the principle that everything is code we will attempt to do a live demo quickly creating a complete pipeline that builds and deploys PetClinic on OpenShift v3.9

Speaker: Paul is a DevOps enthusiast with focus on CI/CD and working for the Amsterdam based company Oelan IT Engineers. He is constantly building bridges between Dev, Ops and business helping customers build an infrastructure under their agile enterprise. With over three decades of professional experience with development, operations, customer service and most importantly, real-life, in the trenches, in many countries and cultures all over the world, Paul is a seasoned professional.

His big passions are Continuous Integration, Delivery and Deployment (CI/CD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD). During his career he worked for different companies, among them several start-ups. Paul has learned that DevOps is a real team sport and he enjoys being part of such teams, building systems and pipelines, working closely with developers, testers and product owners to increase the velocity of the software delivery process.
