Your Infrastructure Needs to D.I.E. - Tim Mamo | Senior Developer Advocate @ Digital Ocean

What can a diamond heist that occurred in 2003 teach us about InfoSec's CIA triad? Well that the old way of doing security will not help us as we try to move towards being more Cloud Native. Simple tools and a lot of ingenuity can easily allow an attacker to ruin your day. So how can we make use of cloud native ways of development whilst also ensuring security?
We need infrastructure that can D.I.E.
Designing infrastructure that is Distributed, Immutable and Ephemeral will automatically integrate security by default by increasing the bar for attackers. Further, adding controlled chaos to the process ensures that you are continually learning and improving, increasing confidence in the ability to troubleshoot.
In this talk I’ll highlight how the D.I.E. triad can help us being more secure while expecting for things to fail, and embracing the chaos.

Tim Mamo loves to help growing companies make the most of the cloud by focusing on Cloud Native technologies and processes. He’s had a varied experience, from studying aerospace engineering and working in the automotive industry before moving into the world of Cloud. He enjoys working and helping others improve and understand, at times with some Mediterranean gusto.

Observability for developers: Bridging the gap between your IDE and application runtime - Ivan Merrill | Head of Solutions Engineering @ Fiberplane

Description: The practice of observing your production services, detecting and fixing issues, and all that good stuff has come a long way in a short space of time. We are now blessed with lots of great tools and techniques, and Open Telemetry is the biggest open-source project going behind Kubernetes. But are we leaving the developer experience behind? The cost of identifying and fixing issues, or fine-tuning for performance, continually increases from the moment each line of code is written. Why then is it so common to see organisations only start observing their services when they're in production? What can we do to improve the developer experience? This talk looks at why it's so common to ignore monitoring and observability until production and what can be done to improve the situation.

Special thanks to Cristina from Fiberplane for making this event possible!
