Greetings from #GlueCon! Join me at 11:05 today in breakout room 3 for a look at open source machine learning, and come visit the @backblaze booth to chat about cloud object storage and pickup a t-shirt!

GlueCon 2022 Breakout - More Than Just a Bucket of Bits: Cloud Object Storage turns Sweet Sixteen More Than Just a Bucket of Bits Cloud Object Storage turns Sweet Sixteen 1 Pat Patterson Chief Technical Evangelist @metadaddy / pat@backblaze.com

Interested in how cloud object storage works? Amazon won’t share the internals of S3, but @Backblaze isn’t Amazon!

Here’s my #GlueCon 2022 deck explaining the #BackblazeB2 technology stack, with links to further reading in the speaker notes. Enjoy!

I downloaded @TimescaleDB while I watched @Dianasaur323 presenting at #gluecon last week. Here's how I built a pipeline to ingest data into the time series database from #ApacheKafka http://bit.ly/2XaY3TS

Anyone still at the Omni - fantastic complimentary paella and chard in the lobby by reception #gluecon

Great pics from my #gluecon session by @the_spinmd!

From @mary_grace’s excellent Developer Relations closing keynote at #gluecon

Inspired by @Dianasaur323's #gluecon session on @TimescaleDB, I whipped up a little Python app to send fake data to #apachekafka, then created a pipeline with @StreamSets Data Collector to read from Kafka, send to TimescaleDB. All works great! https://youtu.be/TRXBYAPuTPQ

One of my favorite #gluecon treats - breakfast burrito from the @OmniHotels Interlocken coffee shop!

“Great product marketers bring a ton of empathy to the table” - @clairegiordano at #gluecon. Developer evangelists/advocates too - we need to use the product and feel the customer’s pain!

Great to see @TheChrisDuarte sneaking into @LeahBMH’s slides at #gluecon!

I'll be sharing how I built a dataflow pipeline to ingest and enrich CDN logs for analysis of open source download activity in my #gluecon session, 3:45pm today in Breakout 3. Here's a teaser...

Who's at the Omni for #gluecon already? Beer/eats in the Tap Room in a little while?

So who do I know that’s going to #gluecon??? twitter.com/metadaddy/status/1126986...

You can always make incremental improvements -- getting rid of bash scripts, switching away from storing secrets in blob storage buckets, writing more tests. [fin] #gluecon

After that, everything is just a matter of plumbing through which automatically built container version to run.

"Hopefully this is helpful for getting started if you're not Google and you don't already have something super sophisticated." --@JonXtensen #gluecon

You don't necessarily need k8s. You can use non-k8s container services from your provider if they suit your needs, especially if it's managed and your provider doesn't yet have managed k8s. #gluecon

Make sure that you are being responsible about secret handling. Don't check them in, fetch them into your images inside your build pipeline. [ed: or use Vault at runtime] #gluecon

Running Jenkins is a beast and typically requires a fulltime person to dedicate their effort to it (ugh). Better to use a hosted project like CircleCI to free up your developers' time. #gluecon

If your organization isn't culturally mandating testing, you won't be able to succeed.

Use feature branches and automatically kick off builds when things are merged into the main development branch. Use tooling like CircleCI. #gluecon
