Build and ship faster

Are your teams being challenged to build software faster? This seems to be an eternal request for many software engineering teams! But wait, what are the signs that the teams are 'slow' in the first place?

In this session, we shall the different strategies to help teams scale up their operations, in terms of people, teams, applications, and infrastructure with several real-life case studies, problems, and solutions.

The session covers several aspects of the software development life cycle including coding practices, DevOps, security, and coaching. There will also be demos of how to automate unit test, code coverage, code reviews, security tests and load tests.

Bringing a multicultural team together

Have you ever started a cross-functional team? I’m sure you know that this comes with some challenges. That’s because we are all different and we all communicate in different styles and have different expectations based on our role, culture, and other criteria. Now imagine starting a cross-functional team coming from different parts of the world from different companies, roles, native language, and culture. Looks challenging right? On top of that, now think what impact COVID-19 could have had on this team when some team members had to move to their home country and thus transforming the team from being co-located to being distributed! That’s exactly what this session is about.

During this session, we’ll go through the journey of starting a cross-functional team adopting agile practices in a large traditional organization. Throughout the journey, we’ll look at the different challenges the team faced and the experiments we carried out to solve those issues.

We are going to go back to the basics. I will show you how simple experiments and improvement items can lead to high impact and help to build a high performing team throughout the months.

Achieving Zero Downtime Deployment in Business Critical Applications

Embark on a journey of insights as the process of implementing zerodowntime deployment in the dynamic realm of banking applications is discussed. With millions of logins daily, substantial challenges were encountered, but commensurate rewards were achieved.

In this session, the adoption of Kubernetes will be explored, playing a pivotal role in the quest for seamless deployment. Experiences will be shared, delving into the hurdles faced, and lessons learned from several failed attempts that ultimately led to success.

Through a real-world case study, the transformative impact on the work-life balance of software engineers and the substantial improvement in customer experience for millions of users will be showcased. The approach taken will be detailed, illustrating how maintenance and bug fixes during peak usage were facilitated, while also elevating overall system resilience.

A case study of implementing zero downtime deploy in banking applications. This included step by step live demo of configuring kubernetes on azure while firing jmeter load test to validate the test results.
