Talks and decks

Presentations

Slide decks and talk notes under two themes: performance, and development process.

01

Performance

The performance material looked at making demanding production systems fast, predictable and measurable. The themes were low latency, careful measurement and the discipline of understanding where time actually goes.

02

Development Process

The process material covered agile adoption, build and release discipline and the habits that keep a delivery team honest. The argument running through it is that process improvement is practical work, not ceremony.

Conference notes

The talk notes that survive on the site are from GOTO Copenhagen in 2012. They cover monitoring, continuous delivery and the organisational side of DevOps.

Read Day 1 and Day 2.
