Burnout: The Hidden Failure Mode of High-Performing Teams
Is your team’s health as observable as your software?
High-performing engineering teams are celebrated for their velocity and "whatever it takes" commitment. Yet, these same traits often make them the most vulnerable to a predictable, systemic failure mode: burnout.
This isn’t a lack of individual grit; it’s a design flaw. When we architect software for 99.9% uptime but run our teams at 100% capacity, we create a system with zero fault tolerance. In this talk, we move beyond the superficial "resiliency" narrative and analyze team health through the lens of systems engineering.
We will explore how to apply SRE principles (like load shedding, redundancy mechanisms, and leading indicators) to the human element of the stack. You’ll learn why "idle capacity" is the secret to low latency, how to make cognitive load visible, and how to build a system where high performance doesn't require a "hero culture" destined for a catastrophic outage.
Designing for Change: How Domain-Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture can help systems evolve
As products grow, change becomes harder. New ideas take longer to ship, technical decisions feel risky, and systems start pushing back when teams try to evolve them.
This session looks at how Domain-Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture help teams design software that can change over time. Through a concrete example, we’ll explore how clear boundaries and a well-defined core make it easier to evolve both the system and the
product, whether that means adding new features, integrating AI, changing cloud providers, or adapting infrastructure choices.
Key learnings:
● How clear domain boundaries make systems easier to understand, change, and explain
to others
● Practical ways to structure software through a real example, so products can evolve
without rewrites
● How architectural boundaries help teams introduce new technologies with less risk
● Techniques for reducing long-term lock-in to frameworks, cloud providers, or platforms
● Common design choices that seem fine early on but make change harder later
By the end of the session, attendees will leave with practical ideas they can apply immediately to design software that can evolve alongside their product, teams, and technology.
Next-Level Runbooks: Essential Tools for Developer Productivity and Resilience
Runbooks are the backbone of reliable incident response, but are your runbooks built to keep developers productive and resilient in a 24/7 operational world? In this talk, we’ll guide you through transforming runbooks into streamlined, high-impact tools that both empower developers and drive productivity gains across your teams. We’ll explore the critical balance of detail versus simplicity, how to build runbooks as code, and why consistency and ownership are crucial for alignment across DevEx and Dev Prod teams.
Covering everything from dashboards that track meaningful metrics to next-generation AI features, we’ll walk through the anatomy of runbooks that work - and those that don’t. Learn how to craft runbooks that don’t just sit idle until the next incident but evolve with every touchpoint, staying relevant and impactful. This session offers practical insights into turning runbooks into assets that save time and reduce stress, even in high-stakes environments.
