Redbubble <http://www.redbubble.com/> is hosting a series of events where the Tech Community can come together and discuss some thought-provoking ideas, led by both our own team and members of the community that inspire us. So come in, share a drink and lets talk tech!
This month….. *Redbubble's Michael Milewski <http://au.linkedin.com/in/sirmichaelmilewski> will be presenting “Experiences test-driving infrastructure”* With no internal Ops team, an ever growing team of new Redbubble recruits and a legacy infrastructure that was only documented by the bare metal server it is running on, the aim was to fail over the whole Redbubble website to a brand new environment in the cloud. This was done using legacy code techniques such as writing unit tests around every part of the existing infrastructure, building out functionality in the new cloud infrastructure bit by bit using infrastructure as code tools and learning from breaking every part of the app in the process. This is a set of war stories on using RSpec extension ServerSpec, bringing developers up to speed with Ops 101 server configuration, and applying soft skills to build an effective team, some could say the best team in the world.... * The Agenda (March 18th)* 6pm Doors open for drinks and networking 6:20 Introductions from Paul Coia <http://au.linkedin.com/in/paulcoia> (CTO) 6:30 Michael Milewski presents “Experiences test-driving infrastructure” 7:00 Questions, answers, deliberations 7:15 More drinks, more networking A bit about Redbubble At Redbubble we like tackling large-scale engineering challenges. We’re dealing with 100s of millions of products, we’re helping millions of customers to find the right product for them and we do this all while moving quickly. How quick? We deploy when we need to, an idea in the morning can be live straight after lunch and often is. Nothing is too small for a quick experiment, there is always at least one test running and we learn something new about our customers every day. We measure rather than debate, this lets us be bold with our thinking. While our team of engineering, product, design & user experience is growing, we’re focused on keeping teams small, autonomous and flexible. Everyone contributes from concept to customer, and we celebrate success together.
