Dave Farley,
co-author of the Jolt-award winning book ‘Continuous Delivery’, Founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd

In recent years we have discovered what really works in software development. Not everyone practices approaches like Continuous Delivery, but it is widely seen as representing the current state-of-the-art in software development. This is because at its root CD is about the application of an iterative, practical, empirical, maybe even science based approach to solving problems in software development. Is this a form of software engineering? In this talk Dave will talk about what our “Engineering” discipline should entail.

Michael Galloway,
Senior Engineering Manager – Delivery Integrations @ Netflix

Over the last 5 years, Netflix has been pioneering a software development model based on full ownership of the end-to-end development cycle. This approach, known as the Full Cycle Developer model, has significantly changed the way Netflix engineering teams own and operate code. With a culture based on concepts like Freedom and Responsibility, and Context not Control, how did Netflix transform its approach to engineering and operations? This talk describes our journey.

Discussion with the speakers on questions and topics that are gathered from the participants.

Opportunity to get ideas on your own questions.

The DevOps transformation process is all about change, bringing uncentertinty. As managers it is up to us to provide our teams the right level of comfort, while taking them out of their comfort zone – sounds tricky? This talk is tips and tricks on how to develop the muscle of dealing with uncertainty.

Karin Moscovici, VP R&D @ Riskified
Oded Ben-Ozer, SRE Team lead @ Riskified

For Agile to be more than just a buzzword, we need to have the Agile supporting foundations in our R&D organization. Those are Cultural, Organizational, and Technical. In this talk, Karin and Oded will showcase their first-hand story on building autonomous agile teams (outside and inside the R&D) and what the basics needs from a company for doing it right are. We’ll better understand what a DevOps Culture is and how the DevOps team is enabling the Agile autonomous teams to work independently by developing new infrastructure projects.

Daniel Sternlicht,
Frontend Guild Master @Outbrain

Growing teams and organizations are usually facing the same problems: lack of knowledge sharing and collaboration between teams, missing standardization, cross-organization infrastructure – any of these sound familiar? Well, good news, you’re not alone! In this talk, we’ll discuss the issues growing teams are facing, how to solve them, what are the challenges of creating micro-communities such as guilds, forums, and professional groups in your organization, and what it actually takes.

Shiri Arad Ivtsan
Senior Product Manager @ WhiteSource

DevSecOps sets out to relieve the costly and stressful delays that can occur when security testing is performed late in the game, by setting up processes and tools for “shifting left” so security testing can happen early and often. As organizations continue to embrace this DevSecOps approach, testing tools and practices are integrated even further left in the development pipeline. In this session, we will discuss: Where and how developers are implementing DevSecOps in the SDLC; Best practices for developers to adopt DevSecOps and more efficiently handle vulnerabilities; Necessary steps for implementing a process for detection, prioritization, and remediation of open source vulnerabilities.

How I learned to love TDD and why should you: a journey to the most fundamental development technique

Pazit Dishon
Director of Data Acquisition @PIPL

At Pipl we constantly have ideas on how to improve our products or create new ones. Turning these ideas into live features or products with high ROI is challenging due to the complexity of data projects. In order to overcome these challenges we recently adopted the hypothesis driven development approach. Why did we choose this approach? How did we implement it? How do we measure success, value to customers? This and more will be discussed in my talk.

Keren Chen, VP HR @ OM2 Technologies

The most important life lessons we will ever learn, will be from the mistakes we make. Everyone makes mistakes, mistakes are a part of being a human… so why is it so hard to accept mistakes? How can we learn from our mistakes so that we will not repeat them? There is an incredible beauty to making mistakes. Embedded in each mistake is a puzzle, a gem that we could receive if the puzzle is solved, i.e., a new procedure or an automated process that we could use to reduce mistakes in the future. Each mistake is probably a reflection of something that I was (or others were) doing wrong, so if I could figure out what that was, I could learn how to be more effective. The most important thing that differentiates people, is their approach to handling mistakes. // — “Mistakes are good if they result in learning” – Ray Dalio — //
