The Emperor Has No Docs - Ignasi Marimon-Clos i Sunyol

• Abstract: Software, like board games, needs instructions. Should I draw a card or play my card first? Will the connection be reused, or should I use a connection pool? In heroic tales, a protagonist needs directions from elder scrolls to use magical artifacts and complete their mission.
  In this talk, Ignasi will explain his journey from neglecting docs to considering them an important step in the software delivery cycle. Ignasi will share tips and tricks he’s been collecting over the years and focus on which habits he adopted to make sure he doesn’t forget docs. Ignasi will also share the types of audiences and cases where documentation can save time and money for your organization.
  After discussing the importance of documentation within several teams, Ignasi will try to counter the usual arguments and excuses those who don’t document often use. No, the code is not the documentation, the code doesn’t tell the whole story. You can have a strong type system restricting how to call an API and still be an unusable API: “Hmm, I need a Token here, where do I get it?”.
• About: Back-End (JVM) developer for over 20 years. Java developer turned Scala developer. While working on Healthcare of Electoral systems, Ignasi focused on software engineering and quality assurance. He later expanded his interests into profiling and distributed systems. In recent years, his energy has revolved around observability.

It's not FinOps, all are DevOps - Ferran Grau

• Abstract: Even though FinOps is a buzzword, some companies were working on this many years before the FinOps work was created, this talk explains the path we follow to arrive at our current status and the change of mentality the DevOps applied to finances in a Cloud environment is producing in all aspects of a company.
• About: Passionate about building automation, I spent my last years migrating on-premise infrastructure to the cloud, building unattended microservices deploy systems, trying to introduce chaos engineering, and automating cost saving in AWS. Always flowing the DevOps methodology in AWS cloud using a great number of the tools it provides and a lot of open source tools.
  My actual focus if develop automation and strategies for the AWS cost using reserved instances, cleaning unnecessary resources, and changing the infrastructure to optimize it in the greatest Spanish company in AWS.
