The Quest for Engineering Excellence: The Wonders of Automations

Event:

We would like to invite you to the last Meetup of 2024!

In this event, we will have another episode on the ongoing quest that different companies have taken in order to achieve Engineering Excellence. Different companies follow different paths, there isn’t a single way to reach it, and no silver bullet.

In this episode, we will dive into the several aspects of of software delivery mainly focused on how different types of automation have helped in improving developer experience, achieving higher quality and confidence in software delivery in ever-growing software companies.

We will be having three different talks, followed by a networking session, have some 🍕 and 🍺 while exchanging ideas and engaging with the community.
