Release your inner DevOps

Many teams struggle with how to release their code quickly, safely and regularly into production. Often, we can feel bogged down by process, unable to see how others can release so quickly or making excuses about how "it's easier in THAT industry". That used to be how I felt but not anymore! In this talk, I will guide you through the mindset required to start making the right changes on the journey to release more quickly (but still safely): the so-called "DevOps Mindset". I will share the key insights that I have learned from over 10+ years of experience in Banking, Government and the Startup space, leading teams to build, deploy and run systems comprising dozens of microservices. We'll explore practical techniques that you can start using today to enable your releases to go smoothly, whilst also providing you with some key areas of focus in your longer-term DevOps strategy. Finally, I'll introduce several really simple, practical coding techniques that make deploying at speed, easy and relatively painless... No matter your team size!
