How Smartly is able to do 2000 deploys a month
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the software development lifecycle at Smartly. We'll cover CI, End-to-End testing, and local development practices. Discover how our developer platform ensures a safe and robust journey from a developer's laptop to production.
Andrei, Ruiyang, and Antti have been working in Ops and Platform Engineering teams for the past years focusing on improving developer tooling and productivity at scale.
How we monitor short-lived jobs in Kubernetes
Running short-lived applications in Kubernetes is common, but monitoring them effectively can be challenging. Unsatisfied with the results we were getting, we decided to improve our setup. Here’s our story on overcoming monitoring issues, the challenges we faced, and the high-cardinality issues with Prometheus that even led to an outage.
Ivan is a seasoned veteran with over 6 years of Site Reliability and DevOps Engineering experience supporting large-scale SaaS applications built with cloud-native technologies. As a passionate engineering leader, he enjoys working with scalable distributed systems, prioritizing a reliable and low-latency experience for customers.
Stop polishing turds and start delivering value for your users
There is an old proverb “you cannot polish a turd”. Many platform teams focus too much on engineering their platform and too little on understanding the needs of their users. At Verifa, we refer to this as “polishing turds”; when you focus too much on doing the thing right, and not on doing the right thing. This talk will cover my opinions on what “platform as a product” means and present a practical framework we have been developing to help build user-centric platforms (and try to prevent you from polishing turds).
Jacob is a pragmatic engineer who enjoys helping teams with all things continuous and cloud.
