Join us for an evening of free food, drinks, swag and prizes with like-minded folks in DevOps!

In this meetup collaboration with CircleCI, we'll hear from Matt Turner, a DevOps leader, architect and expert in cloud-native technologies. Matt will deliver a practical talk on cloud-native progressive delivery — this is an approach, and a set of tools, which gives us automated, safe, observable deployments and releases.

There’ll be a lot of demos, during which we’ll see:

- Canary deployments and automated rollbacks
- The separation of deployment and release
- Traffic mirroring, comparison of results between versions, and other neat network tricks in Kubernetes

Zan Markan, senior developer advocate at CircleCI, will also be sharing tips and tricks for improving the efficiency and impact of your CI/CD pipelines.

ABOUT THE TALK

Cloud-Native Progressive Delivery

Do you want to make your releases safer, faster and less effort? Lots of us now have microservices, kubernetes, maybe even a service mesh. So why are releases still banned on Fridays? Why is it so hard to know what version is running in production?

In this practical talk, Matt will talk through progressive delivery. This is an approach, and a set of tools, which gives us automated, safe, observable deployments and releases.
