Lead Dev Meetup - London - February 2019

We hope you can join us for our first meetup of 2019, hosted at Deliveroo's offices in London. โฐ Schedule 18:30 - Arrive 19:00 - Welcome from Deliveroo 19:05 - Euan Finlay 19:25 - Speaker TBC 19:45 - Break 20.00 - Tom Leitch 21.00 - Close ๐ŸŒŸ Speakers Euan Finlay (Senior Integration Engineer, Financial Times) Bio: Euan leads a team at the Financial Times, supporting Go & Java microservices, Docker containers in Kubernetes, and the website as a whole. On the Ops-ier side of DevOps, he has occasionally admitted to being a sysadmin in public. Talk: Don't Panic! How to Cope Now You're Responsible for Production More and more developers are expected to be on-call, provide out-of-hours support, and respond to production outages. If you don't have much experience handling incidents, it can be scary, intimidating, and feel like being dropped in the deep end. But it doesnโ€™t have to be that way! Over the last few years on the FTโ€™s Content team, weโ€™ve transformed our incident response โ€“ from a number of mildly terrifying multi-hour outages, to a stable platform where team members feel comfortable on-call. This talk will provide practical tips and advice on: - setting up an incident response framework - what to do when Everything Is On Fireโ„ข - improving things afterwards - and some horror stories of our own... Tom Leitch (Engineering Director - Delivery, Deliveroo) Bio: Details coming soon Talk: Detail coming soon
