"How we reduced our AWS infrastructure costs by half"

• Speaker: Pierre Piriou, Engineering Manager of the Infrastructure Team @ Personio
• Description: In this talk, Pierre will share our experience with optimizing AWS infrastructure costs with the use of spot instances, the pros and cons of this approach and the technical challenges associated with it.

18:20 - 18:40
"DevOps benchmarks 2021 - What we learned from more than 1,800 teams"

• Speaker: Kaspar von Grünberg, CEO at Humanitec
• Description: Over the last few months we talked to more than 1,800 teams and analyzed their DevOps setup in depth. We asked questions around their infrastructure & CI/CD setup, approaches to config management and their performance on DevOps key metrics, such as deployment frequency, lead time, mean time to restore (MTTR) and change failure rate. We gathered data on developer experience, degree of automation and self-service. In this talk, Kaspar will present the results and discuss:

• Common patterns we see emerge in most DevOps setups
• What differentiates top-performing teams from the large midfield and low-performers
• Why are most teams stuck in the middle and what does it take to reach the next level in the DevOps evolution

18:40 - 19:00
"Working with a monolith at scale: deployment trains and continuous-ish deployments"

• Speaker: Riain Condon, Platform Engineer in the Developer Experience Team @ Personio
• Description: Working with a monolith with a large engineering team causes all kind of challenges. What do you do when 30 engineers want to deploy everyday, but your CI/CD pipeline can only handle 10 deployments a day? In this talk, Riain will discuss our experience implementing deployment trains for our monolith, and the impact on the engineering productivity.

19:00
Networking, Pizza and some drinks.
