Develop your Development Experience with Atomist - Christian Dupuis

As developers, we understand the value of what we do. We take business problems and create robust, automated solutions for them. We value engineered solutions using sophisticated modern programming languages, frameworks and platforms. We don't trust anything we can't test at multiple levels.

Yet we let ourselves down in how we work and approach software delivery. Just as shoemakers' children go barefoot, we fail to improve the daily work of our own teams. We fail to automate many of the tedious daily tasks we face. We code behaviors in untestable YAML and Bash. We resort to copy and paste when we could automate reuse. We tolerate duplication between delivery pipelines and suffer increasing, dangerous entropy over time. As we've moved toward microservices from monoliths, we've actually gone backward in some ways, as the sophisticated capabilities of IDEs solve fewer of our problems.

In this session, Christian will discuss:

* What's the next breakthrough beyond CI/CD?
* What would an API for software look like?
* What it means to increase your level of automation from ad hoc, through automated to automatic
* What it means to increase your level of visibility from hidden on someone's machine, through visible to auditable
* How to change delivery across all projects through a single change
* How ChatOps can supercharge team collaboration

Christian will conclude with a live demo geared toward Spring Boot/Java development, showing how Atomist addresses these problems. See how you can get your team to a higher level of productivity with the Spring Boot of software delivery.
