Breaking The Mono Repo / Debugging Tools You Never Knew but Should

In this event, we'll cover 2 great topics. First will cover the strategy used by Gong to break away from their mono repo. Second will cover those super useful debugging tools we almost never heard of, by Shai Almog.

Thanks to Dynamic Yield for sponsoring the event!

Free Tickets: During the event we will hold a raffle of 5 free tickets to our yearly conference https://jdevsummitil.com between the attendees!!

Auxiliary Debugging Tools
The debugger is the central piece of the debugging experience but it’s only one part of it. We sometimes need to step outside of the comforting embrace of the IDE to reproduce or track an issue. In this talk, we’ll review some tools you might find useful for these cases focusing on tools that are 100% debugging tools and not those that are useful for development testing.
In this talk we cover strace, dtrace, JMXTerm, jhsdb, tcpdump and Wireshark.

I want to break free: unchain your code from the mono-repo without breaking production

In this session I'll show how we at GONG managed to transition a large portion of our code from our huge mono repo to a dedicated repo.

The main reasons for moving were:
- Mono repo builds are long and
failing many times without any relation to our code.
- Have full ownership of the code
- Only our code should have exclusive access to our schemas
- Faster independent deployments upon internal changes

The main challenge was to change services that previously called our code locally to call it remotely behind REST in a seamless way without breaking production.

In the talk I'll show a real life solution implemented at GONG, starting from careful system design, refactoring samples challenges and assembling phased out plan to deploy these delicate changes carefully to succeed the rollout.
