DevTank March
- Mar 26, 2013 · 6:30 PM
Hello all, here is the line up for your first DevTank instalment of 2013! Many thanks to Forward for hosting and supplying beer, and Lonely Planet for the pizzas!
Marc Watts – Scaling is Hard
Integration Lead at Lonely Planet
"At Lonely Planet, we use a lot of great tools. Building and deploying them is only part of the challenge, running them at scale has proven much more difficult. I'll share our stories of scaling open source tools like Logstash and Graphite and discuss the dark side of autoscaling on AWS."
Martin Buhr – Lessons learnt from Loadzen
Founder of Loadzen – the simple load testing service
"Loadzen launched in January 2012 and in the past year we've experienced first hand the growing pains involved in start up business. I’ll be talking through some of the lessons we've learnt about running, marketing, improving, and scaling our online business – warts and all."
