Area of Expertise
Topics
When your colleagues are your customers
Building a platform is like building a product—except you're often doing it without the guidance of a Product Manager. In this talk, we'll explore how platform engineers can effectively gather feedback from internal teams, prioritize high-impact projects, and prove ROI despite being a cost center.
Migrations for Humans
Migrations are often motivated by reliability, but can also harm reliability if not done with care.
In this talk, I explore several migrations I led over the past few years, including moving 2500+ jobs to Nomad, and subsequently containerizing these jobs.
We'll discuss what went well and what went wrong in each instance, and how we applied what we learned to improve our migration competency.
