5 tips to burn out your engineers
In this lightning talk Suzanne gives you 5 quick tips to 10X burn out in your engineering organization.
Improving Developer Experience with Backstage
Onboarding is difficult, finding information can be a pain, collaborating across teams or domains is hard, and no-one likes context switching between cloud portals, CI/CD Tooling and whatnot. This and other modern frustrations are causing friction in the day-to-day lives of developers.
This friction is taking away pleasure, effectiveness, and will eventually result in bad code, people leaving or being burnt out. Investing in Developer Happiness is key, but where to begin? Should you build yet another portal? Implement that new DevOps platform? Try that Inner Source thing?
In this session we're discussing all of this and take a look at Backstage, an Open Source platform you can use to build an Internal Developer Portal with and massively improve your developer experience. Because happy developers write happy code.
Shift left, add it to the pile? How to keep developers productive and happy
The cloud native development ecosystem is expanding at an unprecedented and chaotic pace. With access to increasingly powerful technologies, developers should be well-positioned to drive innovation forward and work more creatively than ever. However, the problems they are attempting to solve have become more complex than ever.
While development is shifting to the right, the 'shift-left' movement piles up new tools and interfaces in the lives of developers, creating friction in the innovation process and ultimately limiting developers' ability to deliver.
In this session, Suzanne Daniels shares her insights on how organizations can overcome these challenges and improve developer velocity. She will discuss three key solutions that organizations can use to help their developers be more productive and shows how you can combine them using an internal developer portal.
Topics for discussion include:
- Why platform engineering is not just "the new DevOps," and why it's essential to improving developer velocity.
- How to improve collaboration between developers and other teams to streamline software development and speed up innovation.
- How a developer portal can help organizations embrace chaos, foster collaboration, and integrate solutions for greater productivity.
Building a Better Developer Experience with Platform Engineering
In this talk, we will explore the importance of platform engineering in software development. The talk will cover how platform engineering can help improve developer productivity and give practical tips on how to implement it. Attendees will learn about the significance of developer experience in platform engineering and how it can help streamline critical infrastructure tasks like security, governance, and observability. The talk will also cover strategies to augment developer experience in platform engineering, including automation and toolchain optimization looking at the Microsoft and GitHub landscape.
