All in on Civo: Running Production Project on Civo Cloud
Change Bell ringing dates back to the 17th Century, serving as a call to worship and celebrating national events. Ringers have recently rung for the death of the queen and now the coronation of a new monarch.
However recruitment of new ringers has become an issue threatening the hobby. Ringing is still very male dominated and getting new people to join requires engagement at a local level. Last year I showed the technology I started building on Civo to analyse our data. Now the Central Council has launched Ringing 2030 to reverse the demise of change ringing through technology. We’re building our technology stack on Civo using it's offerings.
I'm leading the development of managed websites (because bell ringers don't make good websites) with an integrated recruitment portal and a management system. Our aim is to provide an end to end user, from interest to pairing up people with experienced ringing teachers to managing their progress in a simple but compliant way, respecting personal privacy.
I will demo our platform built on Kubernetes, with GitOps and Observability built in, and how we've managed to improve recruitment of change ringers so far.
Waterfall On Premise Development to Agile on The Cloud: Lessons in Change Management
How do you rapidly evolve a traditional waterfall software development team to deliver in the rapidly in the cloud?
How can you adopt your engineering processes to deliver a cloud SaaS product with a new GxP Software Development Lifecycle, where developers are used to traditional products?
I share my experience as joining as an Agile coach midway through the development of a cloud SaaS product to be GxP compliant, requiring high degrees of quality which was behind schedule. How can you steer the ship?
Is the problem a technical, leadership or social problem?
I discuss the diverse challenges and lessons I've learned supporting the teams moving to the cloud, managing a fire fighting culture to educating the leaders and teams about Agile development, DevOps and site reliability engineering.
