In this talk, we will embark on a journey through the ever-evolving world of agile methodologies, evaluate its applications, and challenges and identify the right processes for our multiple engineering teams. We will review and share strategies to overcome recurrent challenges faced by agile practitioners. Join us to discover innovative solutions and gain a deeper understanding of modern agile methodologies that can revolutionise your team's approach to software development. Speaker With a background as a C# developer, William Mendes is specialised in leading teams through critical challenges ..read more

“Scientific research” is often perceived as far from the everyday practice of professionals developing, shipping, and running software systems. Yet, this is hardly true for much research. This meetup will look at some examples of DevOps research projects. We will start with well-known examples such as DORA and look into some of our research at FEUP with results that professionals can use to significant effect, including novel tools and proven best practices ..read more

Platform teams were defined in the seminal book Team Topologies (by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais) and are quickly becoming the new standard for teams working in Infrastructure. But what exactly are Platform teams? What does it mean to work on a Platform as a product? Talk + Discussion "Platform as a product" by Manuel Pais Savvy organizations are discovering the value of treating their internal platforms as products. But what does it mean to treat a "platform as a product"? What benefits does this give, and why would an organization adopt this approach?In this talk, Manuel Pais, co-author ..read more

There is a yawning gap opening up between the best and the rest — the elite top few percent of engineering teams are making incredible gains year over year in velocity, reliability and human-compatibility, while the bottom 50% are actually losing ground. And this has nothing to do with engineering ability. Take an engineer out of an elite-performing team and place them in the bottom 50%, and they become subpar too; take an engineer out of a mediocre team and embed them in an elite team, and they are pulling their weight within the year. So how do you build these high performing teams? The two ..read more

Our customers expect a very high level of service from us, so they urged us to build our architecture as resiliently and reliably as we could. That brought us many challenges, from scalability to observability, from multi-cluster and multi-region deployments to managed services geo-replication. While many of these challenges have already been tackled, some are still a work in progress. In this talk, Marco Amador (Anova) will describe their journey to progressive delivery with some hands-on demos and explain why they've chosen progressive delivery over multi-cluster and multi-region Kubernetes ..read more

In Portuguese Anti-patterns are solutions to problems that are, usually, ineffective and carry high risks. Although they might appear appropriate and effective, the gains tend to be short-term. Their consequences turn out to be more trouble than they’re worth. Like many practices, DevOps and SRE have their fair share of anti-patterns and it's tempting to adopt them. Projects might be under budget and time constraints or there might be there a lack of proper skills. When a quick and dirty fix is needed in an emergency, without any malicious intent, there is usually an intention to come back an ..read more
