Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate, Gradle

Baruch Sadogursky

Baruch Sadogursky (@jbaruch) did Java before it had generics, DevOps before there was Docker, and DevRel before it had a name. He started DevRel at JFrog when it was ten people and took it all the way to a successful $6B IPO by helping engineers solve problems. Now Baruch keeps helping engineers solve problems but also helps companies help engineers solve problems. He is a co-author of the “Liquid Software” and “DevOps Tools for Java Developers” books, serves on multiple conference program committees, and regularly speaks at numerous most prestigious industry conferences, including Kubecon, JavaOne (RIP), Devoxx, QCon, DevRelCon, DevOpsDays (all over), DevOops (not a typo) and others. After a tenure of eleven years in JFrog DevRel, Baruch is the Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate at Gradle.

We Solved DevOps. Whats Next?

Tuesday, 9:00 AM EST

Hear me out: We solved DevOps. I am not saying that everyone is doing it right (or even trying), but we have the solution if you want to do it right. Here is the theory, the technology, the communities, the docs, and the booksgo knock yourself out. Do DevOps: empower your teams, make deployments a breeze, build invincible CI/CD pipelines, and create production environments that are secure, stable, and observable. Done.

Now, in perfect alignment with DevOps and the Theory of Constraints, its time to turn our gaze to the next bottleneck: the production environments of our production environments. Theyre a mess. We accept soul-sucking toil, slow and unstable tests and builds, and constant distractions as the norm, just as we accepted the insufferable, manual throw garbage between silos all-night deployments of the pre-DevOps era. But, as with DevOps, we shouldnt take these for granted. Its time to rise again and resist our development environments' Pre-DevOps state. Lets engineer better developer productivity for all!

Liquid Software: How to Achieve Trusted Continuous Updates in the DevOps World

by Fred Simon, Yoav Landman, and Baruch Sadogursky

  • Software affects everything in our lives.Imagine that software could be constantly updated without our involvement! No need to figure out hardware specifications. Nothing to interrupt our digital activities. No waiting for lengthy downloads and reboots. What if it all just happened in the background, and we could simply enjoy the benefits?

    Liquid Software explores a future in which developers code high-quality applications that securely flow to end-users with zero downtime. The authors bring insights from their more than 50 years of collective experience in building software in modern development environments. They explain that what sounds like Software Utopia is possible and practical!

    We’re at the dawn of the next great leap forward in computing – the achievement of continuous software updates. The Liquid Software revolution has begun!
