Talk description

We have been able to deliver a success, powerful and useful app working 4 days per week and remotely in only 4 months. What is our secret? Some good practices and mindset that we are applying.

TDD, pair programming, CI/CD, TBD as our basic rules helped as to build an efficient and interesting tech application based on DDD and evolutionary architecture where data has a strong role to make decisions not only in business but in software. The key point is to be agile and deliver as soon as possible, failing fast and taking decisions in the last responsible moment, knowing that perfection is the enemy of good and having feedback and trust as normal behaviour within the team.

We are building a powerful tech team and application and we want to share our secret with the community.

Talk description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already acting as a copilot in our daily lives, acting as a digital assistant or providing personalized experiences. Despite progress in many other areas, AI has historically stopped short of improving software development practices. Enter GitHub Copilot: the software industry’s first artificial intelligence solution that distills the collective knowledge of the world’s developers into an editor extension that suggests code in real time. ChatGPT then took the world by storm with its conversational capabilities and public reactions have been quite telling.

This makes the process of building great software easier and faster, but what about more secure? In this session, we’ll demonstrate how GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT can help developers write more secure code through real-world use cases. The audience will come away with tips and best practices from the lessons we learned from experimenting with the tools.

Talk description

“DevOps is dead!” That’s a commonly repeated sentence these days. Some might say that Platform Engineering is replacing DevOps. But is DevOps really dead? Is it being replaced by Platform Engineering? Or maybe, we are just confused.

Let’s explore what DevOps is in theory, how it was implemented in practice, whether it failed, whether plaform engineering is the replacement, and what we can learn from the past.

Empezaremos viendo cómo creamos Infraestructura en AWS a través del Cloud Development Kit, un framework que nos ayuda a crear de forma más natural para un desarrollador, recursos en AWS. Veremos los diferentes niveles de constructores que tenemos para crear la infraestructura y lo integraremos con CDK8S, framework que nos permite crear definiciones de Kubernetes también como código.

Dí adiós a los yaml files y empieza a crear la Infraestructura usando lenguajes como Python, Java, Go o TypeScript.

Talk description

In DevOps, all of the tasks involved in the development and deployment of the code are highly automated. But there is a task manually performed that can provide us with very valuable insights. In the talk, Julia will present the Team Exploratory Testing Sessions, in which different roles within the team (Product Manager, Designer, Developers, Testers, SRE Team) are involved. All together will put themselves in the Tester’s shoes, testing at the same time the current feature in a common session. In that journey, led by the tester, they will identify not only issues but also possible improvements and proposals for future development, while learning because of the knowledge and expertise all of them share during the session.

About the speaker

Llevo trabajando más de 18 años en el sector tecnológico, de los cuales he dedicado más de 16 años al Testing. Recientemente le he dado un giro a mi carrera profesional, dejando las tareas de gestión y volviendo a realizar tareas de Testing, que es mi pasión!. Siempre trabajo con orientación a resultados y creo en el aprendizaje continuo. Para mejorar los proyectos en los que participo, me encanta experimentar y encontrar cambios que generen mejoras. Mi actitud y mentalidad positiva en todas las situaciones me permiten sacar lo mejor de las personas que trabajan conmigo. Ser una organizadora voluntaria de la European Testing Conference durante las 3 últimas ediciones, formar parte de un equipo multidisciplinario y multicultural, distribuido en varias zonas horarias y colaborar en un idioma que no hablo de forma nativa me dio una nueva perspectiva de hacia dónde quería dirigir mi carrera profesional. Finalmente, lo he conseguido! En continua actualización de mis habilidades técnicas, formándome en Automatización de Pruebas y Pruebas Exploratorias.

Talk description

In the software development process, the database introduces some challenges when we want to articulate with the application development. When all database changes can be described with scripts, version control can be applied unlocking continuous integration and continuous delivery capabilities.

In this session I will explore the database challenges of each stage of the deployment pipeline, how to use automation to make de deployment pipeline repeatable, reliable and fast, reducing the fear around database changes, and identify the different configurations of the deployment pipeline while articulating database and applications.

About the speaker

Principal DevOps Engineer @ Devoteam that enjoys building software, pipelines, and communities. The deployment pipeline is his favorite technical and cultural tool. AnythingOps approach enthusiast.
