ALEX PSHE
ALEX PSHEStep-by-step algorithm for building CI/CD as an automated quality control system
Alex’s presentation delves into CI/CD from a tester’s perspective, highlighting the importance of leveraging automated metrics for decision-making and adopting a fail-first approach in pipeline design. Throughout the talk, she explores different pipeline types and triggers for efficient testing, emphasizing key criteria for effectiveness. The role of Quality Gates and automated control systems in enforcing standards is also discussed, underscoring Alex’s focus on ensuring reliability and quality in software delivery.
ARNOLD BECHTOLDT
Building large-scale Internal Developer Platforms: Core Principles
Arnold’s talk navigates the complexities of cloud computing, transcending its enigmatic allure. He highlights RTL Data’s internal developer platform, serving 30+ teams with diverse technologies. Arnold underscores RTL’s decentralized infrastructure, which has rapidly produced over 400 GCP projects and 100 GKE clusters in 2-3 years, showcasing its commitment to scalable and efficient software delivery.
ANAÏS URLICHS
Looking into the Closet from Code to Cloud with Bills of Material
Anaïs talks about Bills of Material (BOM) and how they are changing. In her presentation, she shows how to deal with differences in tool and BOM outputs. Using easy-to-understand demos, she explains how to make BOMs with Trivy, Syft, and Microsoft SBOM. Anais focuses on checking security and quality with Lockheed Martin’s sbom-comparator. She also shows how to use BOMs in security scans and reduce vulnerability scan noise with VEX documents.
VISHWA KRISHNAKUMAR
Scaling Up, Not Out: Managing Enterprise Demands in a Growing SaaS Startup
Every founder reaches a crucial point when their product gains traction. They attract big clients, like software leaders, banks, and retail giants, who pay generously for niche solutions. While exciting, catering to these clients‘ demands can veer the product away from its original vision. Vishwa’s talk advises founders on balancing enterprise customer needs while staying true to their company’s vision.

Paul’s approach emphasizes the need to redefine DevOps tools to meet the original goals of the movement by breaking down existing silos and improving communication. The featured systems initiative presents a modern, simulation-based workflow that enables real-time, multiplayer and multimodal collaboration to increase productivity in infrastructure management.
Anaïs points out that security-specific tools often only come into focus when they are urgently needed or when something bad has happened. While larger companies establish safety teams, many smaller organizations and individuals are left without this resource. The first part of her presentation discusses the parallels between climbing and the need for a safety mindset. Without safety specialists on the team, it could be risky for most cluster administrators, similar to free climbing, which is more suited to experienced experts. In the second part, Anais shows how cloud native security tools such as Trivy can be integrated into existing processes and monitoring systems. The goal is to equip Kubernetes cluster administrators and engineers with the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure the security of their resources without having to be experts in the field themselves.
