Dublin SRE Meetup Returns!

We are back!
This is just the beginning, new venues, new talks.
Come warm up for SRECon!

A few of us have been planning for a while now to resurrect this Meetup and I'm excited to get to announce our first talk.

How Datadog has built an automation platform on top of Temporal
Graham and Max will Introduce Temporal, talk about its origins, how it's evolved, how it's used at Datadog and how that led to their participation in the OpenSource project

We’ll cover where the ideas behind Durable Execution came from and how it evolved into what Durable Execution is today.

This session will comprise of a short of demo of Temporal and a talk over how we have built a platform on top of Temporal that provides the foundation for automating operations across many different teams as well as providing critical backend for some of our external services.
Datadog has been actively contributing to the Temporal open source project, as it is outlined on the recently. launched Datadog Opensource Hub: https://opensource.datadoghq.com/projects/temporal/

The talk will be delivered as a two-hander between Max and Graham.

Max has many years experience working with automation tooling for devops and MLops use cases and currently leads a team that manages a self hosted Temporal service at Datadog.

Graham is an Account Executive at Temporal, supporting the rapidly growing Temporal EMEA community, with (too) many years of experience in distributed systems building data applications and ML platforms for large enterprises.

Our second talk will be:

Communicating the value of reliability to the business.

Niall Murphy will deliver an overview of articulating the value of reliability to businesses.

How do we evaluate down time? What are the highest value parts of your stack and how to prioritise your engineering effort to best improve the set of likely outcomes.

When we know the value of our systems, how do we communicate it effectively to the rest of the business? Ensuring it is correctly prioritised among feature work and other pressures.

Niall is very well known to this community, the CEO of Stanza and prize winning author of books like The SRE Book and most recently Reliable Machine Learning.

Join us! The plan is that this will be the first of a series of talks across topics close to our hearts across a couple of venues in Dublin.

If you can come, please sign up! If you can't come this time, make sure to join the group and spread the word, we're just getting started!

Looking forward to seeing many of you soon!
