Metrics and analytics are crucial for building successful products at scale. Data is powerful. However, the room for misuse is significant — hence the cliche about lies, damned lies, and statistics. In this talk, we explored some of the ways you can use data to drive yourself right off a cliff. Specifically, we talked about anti-patterns in evidence-based decision making, meaning we described exactly what not to do with your data.

NoSQL is a catch-all term that covers a lot of different types of data storage. Is it really helpful to group them together by one thing they don't have? Think about it like this: my toaster is as much NoSQL as any database! So, how can we make more sense of this new breed of database management systems?
In this talk I cover the four main data models that have been part of the past ten years' NoSQL movement: key-value, document...

Learn how designer/developer collaboration led to a set of principles and patterns for defining Design Systems.

As in a good Greek Tragedy, scaling devops to big teams has 3 stages and usually end badly. In this play (it’s more than a talk!) we’ll present you with Pentagon Inc, and their way to scaling devops from a team of 3 engineers to a team of 100 (spoiler – it’s painful!)

Software Developer @ThoughtWorks
Microservices are becoming quite a popular architectural pattern, both in the development of brand new systems and when decomposing legacy monoliths into smaller independent modules. However, the typical microservices approach based on HTTP and REST brings with it critical cross-functional challenges for performance, data consistency, and even the HTTP protocol when it comes to describing complex user interactions. The fundamental idea of event sourcing is to...
