About the Speakers
Hot on the heels of his blogpost on the same topic being picked up by both WebOps Weekly and NoSQL Weekly, the first talk will be by Craig Stewart:
"Our journey from Redis 2 to Redis 3 at scale - while not taking the site down!"
We have recently embarked upon a process of upgrading our Redis servers, to enable the use of the native clustering features available from Redis 3.2. This talk explains why we’re using clustering, what problems we have encountered along the way, and what our solutions have been while trying to support more than 20,000 people logging in within a single minute.
The second talk will be by Alex Yates:
"DevOps 101 for data professionals – how your jobs will change"
In 2009 John Allspaw and Paul Hammond changed the way millions of people would think about
software delivery for years to come. DevOps was born.
In 2013 Kenny Gorman declared “The DBA is Dead”. (I don’t believe that, but others do.)
What is DevOps? Where did it come from? How do data folk stay relevant?

About SheffieldDevops
The devops group in Sheffield has been founded to provide a forum for discussion on:
* Adoption of software development lifecycle practices into operations and system administration.
* Creating collaborative working culture/environment for developers and operations teams.
* Applying agile principles in an environment dominated by changes, firefighting and reluctance to change.
* Automation - version control, branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines, deployment and monitoring.
* Metrics - collection of system/application/business/build/SLM metrics and the subsequent reporting and sharing.
* Technology - cool new tools from clusters to containers, cloud solutions, paas, iaas, visualization, monitoring and dashboards - just so long as they help create the devops culture.
* Adoption of Lean principles to improve the flow of work through an organisation.
We plan to meet on the second Thursday of each month in central Sheffield, we’ll have a couple of talks on the above subject areas and then head to a nearby public house to continue the discussion in an more informal manner.
We’re on the look out for speakers, so if you (or someone you know) have a passion for any of the above topics and have something to share then please get in touch via email or twitter.
The group has been created thanks to the efforts of great people on the Sheffield Digital slack channel for the digital community in Sheffield - if you want to lend a hand in running the group or have any ideas to make it bigger and better then please get in touch.
