“Welcome welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all Ages, welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth! The circus of true (new) motivation at work is about to begin!”
To introduce participants to Dagger, an open source container engine for CI pipelines. Dagger enables teams to encapsulate their CI workflows in portable, language-agnostic modules and unlock cross-team collaboration.
Whether you're new to Kubernetes or a seasoned veteran, understanding the details of Pod creation and networking is essential.
This talk unravels the intricacies of Kubernetes networking by building the simplest of CNIs (Container Network Interface) from scratch.
A CNI plugin is a crucial component, enabling communication between containers in a Kubernetes cluster.
In just a few lines of code, we'll explore the creation of Pods, how they are assigned IP addresses, and the role of virtual Ethernet pairs in connecting them to the broader cluster.
Gain practical insights into real-world scenarios, discover the significance of CNIs in the CNCF and understand why it's fundamental for any engineer operating Kubernetes.
This talk equips you with practical knowledge to navigate Kubernetes networking with confidence by empowering attendees with essential CNI concepts and providing a clear understanding of its role in shaping the containerized world.
Internal platforms are crucial for empowering software teams, but their evolution presents strategic challenges. In this session, we’ll embark on a journey using Wardley Maps to explore the platform engineering landscape together. Rather than offering definitive answers, we’ll engage in a discussion to map out key elements, track their evolution, and uncover potential strategies. Through this collaborative process, we aim to spark new ideas and perspectives, enabling participants to better navigate the complexities of building and scaling internal platforms.
Your team debates microservices, Kubernetes clusters, and serverless—because everyone’s doing it. But what if the right choice is… none of them?
The “You Ain’t Gonna Need It” (YAGNI) principle isn’t about rejecting modern tools. It’s about rejecting guesses. Here’s the truth: Most projects evolve, and so should their architecture. Start simple. Scale deliberately.
In this talk, we’ll tackle:
Simplicity’s superpower: Why monoliths (or better, Moduliths!) still win for early-stage clarity
Evolutionary design: Letting requirements—not trends—dictate your tech stack
Complexity traps: Spotting overengineering red flags (e.g., “future-proofing” that never pays off)
When to pivot: Signals that it’s finally time to embrace those microservices
You’ll walk away with a filter for cutting through tech hype, aligning your architecture with today’s problems—and leaving tomorrow’s for tomorrow.
