On this episode of WeAreDevelopers Live, it's all about DevOps! We'll start the day with some insights on creating environments to test out new features in our application. Next, we will learn when a policy is more hindering than helping and how to update them in a meaningful way. Choosing the right environment for your project can be difficult so we arranged for a talk to teach us a DevOps perspective on open-source adoption. After that, we take a closer look at Backstage, an open-source platform for building an internal developer portal. And last but not least, we'll have a look at DevSecOps, and gain some knowledge on the current state of security-specific tools. So make sure to get yourself comfortable and enjoy the show!
Save Your SpotTogether with BOSCH we invite you to a full day of learning more about the intersection of mobility and code. Get to know more about how modern mobility is defined by an intricate interplay of hardware and software and how cars are not only connected to the road, but also to the cloud.
Coding the Future of Mobility features a variety of talks and a workshop, that give you valuable insights into the world of mobility - wether you join in-person or online.

Developing and testing new features for applications on only one cloud environment can quickly lead to a situation where several features block each other and time-consuming solutions need to be found. In this talk feature environments will be presented to accelerate the development of new features by creating environments automatically via CI/CD pipeline when a new feature branch is created. The feature environment creates a short-lived copy of the current development infrastructure for the development and testing of a specific feature.
Thomas works as a Solution Engineer in the DevOps team of Deloitte at the Berlin office for more than a year. He has a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from TU Berlin.
In this talk, Chris will trace back the origins of how policies are often incepted, how they can get out of hand, be slow if not impossible to update and measure compliance, and often lead us to the question of **is the policy helping or hindering**.
From this talk you'll learn how to use a software development pattern and product ways of thinking towards how your organization can manage policy; achieve continual updates to the policy allow the risk mitigations to move as fast as the risk does, and not get in the way and be easy to measure compliance.
A developer at heart with a passion for testing, while still active in the open source community. Chris has worked extensively in critical national infrastructure where "matters of life or death" is not just a flippant throwaway comment. Chris provides training and consulting to many UK & US Government departments, large multinational private sector enterprises, and large charities. Through all of this Chris has seen a lot of organizational and technical dysfunction (not all of his own making) and inefficiencies, and wants to join him in fixing them
Choosing the right open-source project to use can be quite challenging - not knowing if it’s going to be the right fit, how it will behave, and if you end up wasting time trying to make it all work. We’ve all been there. But what if I told you there’s a practical way to have a clear understanding of how to incorporate an OSS project in your environment? In this talk, I’m going to speak about the DevOps perspective on open-source and the challenges Infra-focused engineers have with choosing the right project for their environment. As a DevOps Engineer, I’ve seen a lot of things, stumbled upon a lot of non-biased decisions, and so will present practical advice on how to choose an OSS project for your dev/prod environment and will talk about the business mindset you should have to evaluate the key indicators based on your needs and specific pain points.
Hila Fish is a Senior DevOps Engineer at Wix w/ 15 years of experience.
Public speaker believes the DevOps culture is what drives a company to perform at its best.
In her spare time, Hila is a lead singer of a cover band, giving back to the community by co-organizing DevOps-related conferences (Inc. "DevOpsDays TLV" & "StatsCraft" monitoring conference), mentoring and leading a program in “Baot” (An Israeli community of technical women in tech), and sharing her passion and knowledge whenever she can, including on various tech communities & initiatives and Social Media.
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, and effectiveness, and will eventually result in bad code, and 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 taking a look at Backstage, an Open Source platform you can use to build an Internal Developer Portal and massively improve your developer experience. Because happy developers write happy code.
Suzanne's passion is finding ways to help developers and engineers get the tools and skills to do what they do best: creating the software this world runs on while trying to innovate and make sense of buzzwords at the same time. Before she went into Developer Relations, she was an advisor for organizations on digital transformation, software development, and adoption of (cloud)technologies. Suzanne emcees/hosts events and is a speaker on both technical topics and more in general on transformation & innovation. Also, she organizes meetups and events.
Security-specific tools are often overlooked until they become a requirement, necessity, or things go terribly wrong. While many organizations will build a security team to address related issues, smaller organizations and individual contributors do not have this option. This talk is divided into two sections. In the first one, Anais will share the similarities between climbing and the importance of establishing a security-centric mindset. What happens if we do not have security specialists supporting our team? Free-climbing might be an option for experts with years of experience but not for most cluster admins. The second part will go over security-specific tools in the cloud-native ecosystem. A live demo will focus on Trivy, an open-source tool with 11k+ stars on GitHub. Anais will showcase how we can get started and the benefits of integrating cloud-native security tools, such as Trivy, into our existing processes and monitoring stack.
Anaïs is a Developer Advocate at Aqua Security, where she contributes to Aqua’s cloud-native open source projects. When she is not advocating DevOps best practices, she runs her own YouTube Channel centered around cloud-native technologies. Before joining Aqua, Anais worked as SRE at Civo, a cloud-native service provider, where she worked on infrastructure for hundreds of tenant clusters. As a CNCF ambassador, her passion lies in making tools and platforms more accessible to developers and community members.
