10k Deploys a Day - the Skyscanner Journey So Far
Over the last 18 months, Skyscanner have embarked on a journey of containerisation and Continuous Deployment. We now do 25,000+ builds a month of 500+ distinct services in production - a massive increase in the capability to apply changes to our website and get our newest features out to our customers as quickly as possible. It's not been easy though, there have been plenty of bumps and unintended consequences along the way. In this talk, I hope to dispel the myth that you need to be "all-in" from the start and walk through how Skyscanner got to where they are, one step and one transition at a time. I'll also cover some of the challenges we see in the next 12 months.

Taking Back “Software Engineering”
Would you fly in a plane designed by a craftsman or would you prefer your aircraft to be designed by engineers? Engineering is the application of iterative, empirical, practical science to real-world problems. Craftsmanship is a wonderful thing, and as a reaction to the terrible abuses of the...

Develop Your Development Experience
Developers don’t get paid to write code. We deliver working software in production. How does your team turn source code into running software? And how do you make sure it stays working? If it’s like my experiences, the process is too intricate for words. Instead, let’s code it. How quickly...

Improving Life in Smaller, Heterogeneous Projects
Many presentations on Developer Experience focus on a single large ongoing project, or a particular methodology or toolset. The consulting world faces a multitude of fixed length projects of various sizes, with an astoundingly diverse array of constraints and givens. How do we ensure a good...
