TECH TALK

Taming system complexity with Semver

By Julian Gindi, Senior DevOps Engineer at GumGum

Developing software is an exercise in chaos management. Dependencies constantly changing, APIs in an eternal state of flux; how does one tame the untamable? It may sound inconsequential at first but proper, strict adherence to versioning can be the salvation we need. We will talk about the crucial role that versioning plays in a fast-moving, container-based software stack, and how it can enable engineers of all sorts to maximize safe, consistent deployments and ultimately tame the complexity inherent to modern-day systems.
