Slides for my "Containers will not fix your broken culture" talk at #scaleconf are available: http://bridgetkromhout.com/speaking/2016/scale/ thanks for having me!

Thank you, @scaleconf, for a wonderful experience. Speakers take note: you want to speak at this conference. #scaleconf is worth the flight!

Organizers from #devopsdays Minneapolis (me & @joelaha) and Cape Town (@adrianmoisey & @cobusbernard)! #scaleconf

“I like real unix.” @lenwnc on why he runs Illumos & SmartOS. 😀#scaleconf

“Who’s testing the tests?” @lenwnc on moving past FUD and letting go of heavyweight processes. #scaleconf

“Zed FS” is why @cloudafrica hasn’t lost customer data in 5 years & lots of hard drive failures. @lenwnc #scaleconf

Interesting; apparently FUD originated with IBM in the 1970s. @lenwnc #scaleconf

Building a platform comes with non-trivial challenges (especially in networking). @jayhewland #scaleconf

“When Godzilla attacks California, you also want to be in data centers on the east coast.” @dschenkelman #scaleconf

When offering a public API, provide verbose error messages for developers who will use it. @dschenkelman #scaleconf

A monolith is the most flexible way to start - then iterate on services as you need to. @quintonparker #scaleconf

Spree needed to fix performance - caching was a good start; next, splitting off functions. @quintonparker #scaleconf

Can confirm what @dewald_v is saying about containerized builds; they’re great for CI pipelines. (We use them for @concourseci.) #scaleconf

Kicking off the day at #scaleconf, @dewald_v starts his talk with a quick @docker overview.

There’s definitely not a pink & purple-haired conspiracy. Just ask @justshiv_! #scaleconf

Talking @cloudfoundry at #scaleconf with @alexmuller @rjw1 & @joelaha. ⛅️

Fun live demo by @smneedham at #scaleconf. Voice-activated beer ordering (as a service).

Hearing about https://github.com/serverless/serverless from @smneedham at #scaleconf. Interesting stuff.

Reality check: companies fail for many reasons (especially when not adapting to change). @smneedham #scaleconf

There are better ways to do load balancing, but not many OSS implementations - write one! @tbmcmullen at #scaleconf

Getting recommendations from @tbmcmullen of interesting papers to read! #scaleconf /cc @papers_we_love

Every request is drawn from a log normal distribution; perfect load balancing is impossible. @tbmcmullen #scaleconf

“I have no idea what a polylog is. I’m an engineer, not a mathematician.“ (tl;dr: script it) @tbmcmullen #scaleconf

Load balancing (which is impossible) isn’t only about load - it’s also abstraction & failure. @tbmcmullen #scaleconf

Consider specific needs in design of your docs; not every type of info is relevant to every user. @jobtex #scaleconf

Expect users of your software may have prior or conflicting knowledge to inform their experience. @jobtex #scaleconf

Lunch in the botanical gardens below Table Mountain with @tbmcmullen & @joelaha. Beautiful day at #scaleconf.

Awesome “selfie as part of your live demo” notion. 💯 @ssk2 @philipnrmn #scaleconf

“If it wasn’t JSON, this would be about 10 lines.“ @ssk2 #scaleconf (Enterprise-grade YAML is just as bad, I think!)

“Borg operates on… cubes, I think? The Star Trek technology is a little fuzzy.” @ssk2 #scaleconf
