Debugging Cloud Applications: From Static to Dynamic

As developers, we encounter various issues from the early stages of coding to the final production. Solving production issues can be challenging due to limited accessibility and tools. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and prevent production issues as early as possible. While it is impossible to eliminate all production issues, cloud observability tools aim to gather relevant data and assist in quickly resolving them. This session will cover the existing tools and techniques for addressing production issues, followed by a discussion on developer-first observability. We will explore why a dynamic approach is more effective than the current static observability tools and how it is transforming the way developers handle software issues in their applications. The session will conclude with a live demonstration showcasing the benefits of developer-first observability.

Building Better Software: Lessons from Construction

Monday Mar 27 / 02:55PM BST

Software development and construction may seem like completely different worlds, and yet we use similar terminology to describe concepts in both: infrastructure, architects, frameworks, scaffolding, foundations, builds, … Are these two processes really so similar?
