Docker & Zero Downtime Deployment rules

May 06, 2016
Enjoy the following series of interviews with the speakers, top-notch software crafters from across Europe, joining  I T.A.K.E Unconference, Bucharest, 19-20 May. Discover the lessons learned and what drives them to challenge the known path in their field. 

 

Tugberk Ugurlu, Software Developer at Redgate Software, will share at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016 about how docker changes the way you can work with and release your microservices & zero downtime deployment golden rules.i-take-unconference-speaker.011

#1. Share with us 5 things you did that helped you grow & become the professional you are today

  • Read and try stuff
  • Be part of the software community
  • Ask questions
  • Coding outside the work (side projects, open source contributions, etc.)
  • Learn by teaching (speaking at conferences, writing blogs posts, etc.)

 

#2. What challenges will the participants find solutions to during your session at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016?

Both of my talks are overcoming the challenges of modern software products. Zero-downtime deployment session will empathize on the possibility of always-up systems and making continuous deployment more adoptable. There are a few things to watch out on this space and I am hoping to highlight on that by giving examples and demos on my real world experiences.

The docker session will get you a higher level on how a tool can make a difference on developing and releasing products, in this case microservices.

 

#3. What else would you like to share with participants

I like to be part of the software community. So, I produce a lot. You can follow my activity on my blog and GitHub account.

I love traveling and discovering new places. I am a huge Formula 1 fan.

Enjoy the following series of interviews with the speakers, top-notch software crafters from across Europe, joining  I T.A.K.E Unconference, Bucharest, 11-12 May. Discover the lessons learned and what drives them to challenge the known path in their field.

#1. Share with us 5 things that helped you grow and become the professional you are today

Growth never stops. Or at least not if you allow it. And it’s the single, most important aspect of a professional’s life in order to stay relevant in this field. I’ve found that growth for me happens especially when I get out of my comfort zone. Always try to do that. Don’t settle for what you already know. Push forward. Sometimes it will be hard. That’s why another thing that can fuel your growth is asking for help. Don’t be shy, everyone is learning. Just be humble when you do it. Follow people in your branch (Twitter, blogs, newsletters) and engage in discussions with them. Ask for feedback and be open to constructive criticism. And no matter what you learn, the single most important skill you can develop is learning in itself. So learn to learn first. That will be insanely helpful and will make you very adaptive.

 

#2. What challenges will the participants find solutions to during your session at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2017

The participants will get the chance to engage and connect with new technologies (Service Workers, Push Notifications, App Manifest, etc.). They will also be faced with a new approach to building apps (offline-first requires a different mind shift and planning to achieve it) which I hope they will embrace.

 

#3. Recommend for the participants 3 sources you find inspiration from and would help them better understand you

√ Search for Service Workers, Push Notifications, App Manifest, PRPL pattern, App shell, etc.
√ Look for Google articles especially from their network – https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/.
√ Follow people on the web/Twitter like Jake Archibald, Ilya Grigorik, Addy Osmani & read their blogs.
