Quarterly Large Scale Production Engineering (LSPE) meet up

Event Agenda and Speaker info

10:45 - Registration

11:00 - Tea

11:15 - Opening and keynote

11:30 - Delta Force - Project NoOps - Mitesh Jat and Chandrashekhar Bhosle from CRED
How to launch a FinTech startup in a fully automated, secure and compliant mode with the CI/CD pipelines and microservices infrastructure built from scratch - configuration driven, self serve, self healing, auto scaling and isolated. A platform where, Dev has complete control over their service / Ops has control over Infrastructure, Security & Compliance best practices. A platform with zero management and full reproducibility without a single person writing IaC. The design decisions, implementation and adoption challenges for creating this platform will be explained.

12:15 - Performance Aware Development at Scale - Saurabh from LinkedIn
Analysing and reverting performance regressions as the size of the codebase and the organisation grows, can become a tedious job. We have a number of tools available to help developers and SRE teams find the root cause of the performance regressions. But, how do we prevent reoccurrence of these issues, better yet, how can we enable a culture of performance aware development? In this session, we will talk about how building a CI/CD pipeline with a combination of profilers, always on monitoring and rule evaluation engines can help with early detection and analysis of these performance issues can help reduce the impact of these performance regressions before the code is shipped to production.

12:55 - Scalability and Reliability @ BigBasket: challenges and learnings from Scaling a startup - Nanda Kishore, Senior Principal Engineer, Platforms, BigBasket
This session will give you a whirlwind tour on understanding how BigBasket technology scaled from delivering 3000 grocery orders per day 4 years back, to delivering around a lakh grocery orders today, with a combination of Monolith, Microservices, technology changes, reliability challenges all throughout the journey.

1:30 - Lunch

2:15 - Workshop: Designing Distributed Systems
This workshop will guide participants through the practical aspects of systems engineering, analyzing services to quantify its performance, and subsequently work on iteratively improve the services design.

In this workshop participants will work together in small groups to sketch out the design, identify components and their relationships, and to assess the suitability of the design to the system’s Service Level Objective (SLO). We will try to form each team with SREs and developers(if possible) from different backgrounds. A volunteer will be assigned for each group who will guide them towards the solution.

Agenda
First 10 mins: Introduction, explain the problem and some brief on how to solve.
Next 5 mins: Form into groups, introduce each other
Next 90 mins: Work together, arrive at solutions and discuss
15 mins: Talk about the instructor's proposed solution.

4:15 onwards - Tea, snacks and networking.

Parking directions: Enter Global Technology Park and take the Tower A ramp(first ramp on your right) going down towards basement parking. There's no designated parking, in the basement, for the event, so you can park at any of the available parking spaces.
