Introduction & Community updates

18:45 - 19:30 - Action Hero Tale: Pipl's CI/CD Flow
By Matan Keidar (Staff Engineer @ Pipl)

Do you consider or using GitHub Actions? If you want to know about our experience of using GitHub Actions in our prod environment, this is the talk for you!

In this talk, I’m going to tell you a story, about the good, the bad, and the great of how Pipl’s CI/CD processes switched to using GitHub actions.
Find out how we started, the reasons switched, and what we learned over time, and our plans to improve this further.
As a highlight, we'll introduce our workflow generation code which helped us immensely improve our release cycle, both in velocity and in quality. I promise you an interesting talk from real-world experience.

19:15 - 19:45 - Your open-source is like a startup, treat it like one!
By Eyar Zilberman (CPO @ Datree)

From idea to execution, the challenges of publishing an open-source project are very similar to initializing a startup when it comes to creating a successful product that people will love and use.

Most open-source projects are not “taking-off”, although they are really good! This is because developers (which are usually the creators of open source projects) think that writing the code is the hard part and “neglect” the other parts of publishing a good open source project.

In this talk, I will use my experience as a contributor to open source and product head of a startup, to go beyond writing the code itself and cover the other central aspects of creating an open-source project, like MVP, product/market fit, marketing and more.
