Sven Peters, DevOps advocate at Atlassian, has been studying trends in software development for the last 15 years uncovering the cultural and technical attributes to help development teams work effectively and drive innovation. He has 20 years experience in writing code, leading teams, and sharing his experience with thousands of developers at uncountable conferences in 25+ countries.
Software development has become more complex over the years: Building and running a distributed architecture in the cloud, ensuring observability, discussing user experience with design and product, and keeping a healthy balance between dev speed and code quality isnt easy. Just be agile and practice DevOps, they say.
Join Sven and learn how great software teams measure and improve their developer experience, coordinate work across teams, run autonomous but highly aligned teams, and create a healthy and joyful engineering culture. Always backed up by data (not driven) instead of opinions.
The talk will demonstrate how great teams faced development challenges, reinvented themselves, and created new ways of working to get s%*t done. Without loosing sight of what makes this craft fun for engineers.
There are a lot of technical challenges and complexity that comes with building a cloud native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last 10 years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But, did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassians journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it impacted the way the engineer teamwork. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform teams.
