NetPonto #43 - We're back to in-person events (and on Saturdays)! 🎉

Hello everyone! 🥳

We've returned from the summer break with some exciting news: we're back to in-person events (and on Saturdays)! 🎉
It's been more than 2 and a half years since our last in-person event and we've been wanting to go back ever since. The pandemic brought enormous challenges with it, forcing us to a new online model that even though it worked, always lacked what made this community special and still going after 13 years! 💪 It'll be awesome to see you once again face-to-face!

Join us then, to hear what Ricardo has to share about Overcoming SRE Anti-Pattern Roadblocks, and because we're back to double the talks, our own Guilherme talk about his take on the Unified Theory of Clean Architecture and Test Pyramid.

🎙 Ricardo Castro - Overcoming SRE Anti-Pattern Roadblocks: Rebranding the Operations Team 🎙

📝 Abstract:

Across the industry, one of most common, if not the most common, anti-pattern is the renaming X to Y. Considering it generically, it’s when we rebrand something but little else changes. It’s the act of rebranding a team or practice and, in practice, things stay almost the same. Like many other changes in the past that fell into this trap, SRE is not immune to it. As a new way of doing operations, it's easy to fell into this anti-pattern.

Essentially, the rebranding anti-pattern is characterised by little to no change. It’s an anti-pattern where companies, at best, gain marginal improvements in the way they do operations and fail to capitalize on them. We’ll explore this in detail and what strategies we can employ to overcome to avoid this anti-pattern.

🎙 Guilherme Ferreira - The Grand Unified Theory of Clean Architecture and Test Pyramid 🎙

📝 Abstract:

Clean Architecture and Test Pyramid are two important theories of the software world, but how to combine them? If you ever dug deeper into any of them, you know that the number of interpretations is exponential, so there’s no “one way to do it”.

This is a highly opinionated talk based on my experience, with an approach to combine them. We will go through an API built with .NET, but the ideas are technology agnostic.

If you have faced those challenges, this session is for you. You can expect to go home with a simple and clear way to address them.
