  • Debugging distributed systems

    Nowadays, most software projects are distributed systems: components are located on different networked computers which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. Debugging distributed systems is not easy. When two components don’t play nice together, the cause could be virtually anything: software, DNS, routing, firewalls, proxies, load balancers, TLS.. and more!In this talk, I’ll share my experience with debugging distributed systems. We’ll look at typical issues and share ways to debug those issues and find their root causes. We’ll dive into networking, infrastructure, logging/tracing/metrics, testing, remote debugging and more. I’ll share lots of examples and war stories along the way. After this talk, you’ll have practical knowledge on how and where to get started with debugging distributed systems yourself!

  • From App to Services: moving a team to own the SLO

    Many development teams are application developers. And it is far from a service in production. Nowadays, between devops, open APIs and information systems built around APIs, we are all becoming responsible for a running service.This presentation offers a transition journey retrospective of a Red Hat team that went from building products to delivering a cloud service able to run thousands of instances for others. We will share experience forged and all we had to (un)learn along the way.

    This isn’t so much the code that changes, it’s the team culture and the conception of systems surrounding and supporting the code. What’s the impact on architecture? How are Standard Operating Procedures built? How does one define a SLA? How and why think about blast radius, noisy neighbors, SRE ? How to think about risks? etc.

    After this presentation, you will have keys to think about your team’s transition to a model where everyone owns the SLO (Service Level Objective) of which (un)availability is part of.
