Not so long ago (okay, 23 years ago… 👴🏻), my dear friend @PierreVincent and I would build websites entirely offline, transfer the files to floppy disks (several of them, for redundancy), and… ride our bloody bikes 🚴🏻‍♂️ to the library to upload updates to free FTP servers!

Back in the day, the biggest bottleneck of the deployment pipeline was the library opening hours.

Tools so fast and easy to use that they unleash creativity and collaboration in ways that weren't possible before. My take: relentlessly invest in speeding up your design & front-end development processes, and you'll take your products to whole new level.

Here we go, last talk of the day on the production track at #QConLondon, with @rdelvira and "an entertaining outage story" (his own words) when slack rolled out DNSSEC

You know you're in a really bad spot when you need to ask all DNS resolvers operator to clear their cache for your main domain 😱. "This was a very big spreadsheet..." @rdelvira #QConLondon

For the last attempt, the traffic team at slack went back to strengthen run books (especially for very risky rollbacks), increasing observability on DNS (route53 logs for full visibility of dns requests, breakdown by resolvers). @rdelvira #QConLondon

Continuing the #QConLondon production track with @yurynino, and using visual metaphors to understand our production data in a different way.

Visual metaphors as alternative solutions to hard to read bar charts. For traffic, using nodes and edges of variable size - and for latency using color coded gauges. @yurynino #QConLondon

"If we have proper visualisation and better metaphors, we set much better conditions for our operators to be comfortable in understanding and responding to variations in our systems." @yurynino #QConLondon

Next up on the production track, @mhausenblas on Continuous Profiling #QConLondon

Correlation remains a challenge with profiles, to link together all the different signal types, rather than dealing with multiple independent tools. @mhausenblas #QConLondon
