Session 1

Title: Self-reporting health checks for microservices

Presenter: Neil Jenman

In complex integrations, it can be challenging to track down emergent behaviour. We will explore a comprehensive health check framework to enable reporting on microservice application health, aiding issue resolution and increasing deployment confidence. The examples are in dot net, but the principles can be applied to any application type.

Session 2

Title: Scaling DevOps through SRE-Driven Engineering

Presenter: Andrew Patterson, Dynatrace

Did you know that 90% of DevOps & SRE automation code that is currently developed must be rewritten or thrown away within the next 12 months? It’s because most automation frameworks have GitOps and SLO-driven orchestration as an afterthought resulting in high levels of code duplication and technical debt. This is especially true when implementing use cases like automatic monitoring configuration, deployment validation or SLO management.
Whether you’re an expert in the SRE space or have just heard of SRE and are wanting to know how it can provide value to your business, this session has something for you!

Andrew is a Sales Engineer/Solution Architect at Dynatrace. He has 15 years of experience working with some of the largest private and government organisations in Asia-Pacific, advising on performance engineering, experience monitoring and optimisation.
