DevOps Research for Professionals: from Tools to Best Practices

“Scientific research” is often perceived as far from the everyday practice of professionals developing, shipping, and running software systems. Yet, this is hardly true for much research. This meetup will look at some examples of DevOps research projects. We will start with well-known examples such as DORA and look into some of our research at FEUP with results that professionals can use to significant effect, including novel tools and proven best practices.

Sumário DORA Metrics deu visibilidade ao ciclo de desenvolvimento de software e Operação de TI de forma a vê-los de forma única, como parte fundamental do fluxo de valor de organizações exponenciais. As métricas em si podem não significar muito se não houver uma estratégia direcionada de usá-las para validar experimentos, adoção de tecnologias e/ou dar visibilidades aos gargalos. Esta apresentação é um pequeno ensaio de como foi implementar DORA Metrics nas organizações e algumas lições aprendidas.

Are Platform teams the next DevOps?

Platform teams were defined in the seminal book Team Topologies [https://teamtopologies.com/book] (by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais) and are quickly becoming the new standard for teams working in Infrastructure. But what exactly are Platform teams? What does it mean to work on a Platform as a product? Talk + Discussion "Platform as a product" by Manuel Pais Savvy organizations are discovering the value of treating their internal platforms as products. But what does it mean to treat a "platform as a product"? What benefits does this give, and why would an organization adopt this approach?In this talk, Manuel Pais, co-author of the book Team Topologies, explains why the platform-as-product approach can be a game-changer for organizations building and running software-enabled products and services. Using ideas & patterns from Team Topologies - including Thinnest Viable Platform, team cognitive load, and the evolutionary team interaction modes - Manuel explains how organizations like Uswitch and Adidas have successfully used the platform-as-product model to accelerate and simplify the delivery of software at scale.
