Matteo Bianchi - Oops I deployed too hard
Sometimes you delete production, you drop tables, you change a conf and everything breaks but what if you upgraded the wrong environment, to the next newer and fancier software version, in one of the biggest customers of your employer server?

And what if you did it right before going to a long lunch?A tale of compliance, regulations, unauthorized deploys and ethical questions!
Solved more through diplomacy than with coding.
Memes included*

Shruti Thukral - Cluster Fumble: An Upgrade Drama
I was developing a solution that will upgrade sonarqube version. I tested the solution on development cluster everything worked fine, and then I moved to production testing as it was just about creating a new cluster with same config and not touching running production facing cluster in any way. But I forgot that the sonarqube manages its own database, and what happens next was a whole new charade.
