Welcome to DevX Conf!

Panel: Remote development


		<div>
		  <p>
			Over the last five years, there has been a huge shift in the way applications get deployed
			- from self-hosted infrastructure to the world of cloud and Kubernetes clusters. This
			change in deployment practices brought with it a lot of new things to the world developers
			- containers, cloud provider configurations, staging environments, to name a few. Instead
			of coding monoliths, we started to see a shift towards cloud-native applications
			consisting of multiple microservices.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			So while the way of application deployment has advanced, the workflows and tooling for
			development have remained stagnant. They didn't adapt completely or feel "native" to this
			world of cloud-native applications. This led to an unpleasant developer experience
			involving a massive loss in developer productivity.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			This talk is going to be about how cloud based remote development environments provide a
			solution to this problem. A new development workflow solution that feels native to the
			multiple microservices-based applications we see being developed these days. The talk will
			cover what these environments are, how they deliver a more pleasant developer experience,
			and how folks can get started using them with the help of open source tools like Okteto
			CLI.

			As modern applications are getting more and more complex, it's quite easy to end up with
			large bundle sizes and long loading times. Although there are many tools that can help
			with performance, there's still a lot you can do as a developer to load your code more
			efficiently. Fortunately, with the help of modern rendering patterns, we can reduce
			complexity, bundle sizes, and reduce loading times. In this talk, you'll learn about the
			implementation and use cases of modern rendering patterns including SSR, (on-demand) ISR,
			Streaming SSR, React Server Components, Progressive Rehydration, and Selective
			Rehydration.

		  <p>
			DevX has been an emerging concept for the past two years, and while we are still trying to
			give it a shared and structured definition in the tech industry, some common questions are
			already arising, and the most compelling one is: where to start with developer experience?
			In this presentation, I will talk about my past 4 years of experience setting up a DevX
			team from scratch, the main challenges, the pain, the gain, and the lessons learned.

			<strong>Remote development in a remote-first world</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Is your development environment a pet? Convert that pet into cattle by going remote! Our
			development environments continue to become more and more complex to set up. Each project
			we work on has a unique set of dependencies and keeping everything up to date can be a
			full time job. With Kubernetes, we made the transition from services operating on pet-like
			infrastructure to cattle. By packaging dependencies and spinning up on-the-fly
			environments, we can make the same transition for development environments.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In this talk, you will learn where remote development environments have been, where they
			are today and where they’re going in the future. We will discuss why right now is a
			perfect time to adopt this new style of development and provide a clear path to adopting
			the best practices required to convert your pet-like development environment into cattle.
		  </p>
		  <p>The following points will be covered in depth:</p>
		  <ul>
			<li>Problem space that remote development environments solve, and it’s approach.</li>
			<li>How VS Code Remote IDE, JetBrains Fleet, etc work.</li>
			<li>Code from Anywhere, Any Device (due to Browser support)</li>
			<li>On-Demand, Development environments</li>
			<li>
			  Standardisation of developer environments with formats like devContainer.json,
			  gitpod.yml, etc to provide project specific environments.
			</li>
			<li>
			  How this model goes very well with OSS development where you want folks to spend as less
			  time on the configuration of dev environment
			</li>
		  </ul>
		  <p>
			By the end of this talk, Audiences will leave with the past, present and future of Remote
			Developer Environments, and have an understanding of how they can make use of it in their
			existing projects and companies. Instead of focusing on the specific implementation, tools
			on how it's done, we focus on the concepts itself so that the audience are free to choose
			whatever implementations that they are comfortable with.

			<strong>The balancing act of delivering high quality DX</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Designing a general-purpose build system involves making a lot of trade-offs: tool-ability
			vs. expressiveness, efficiency vs. ease of learning, lean configuration vs.
			discoverability, extensibility vs. API surface. These are in a constant conflict, making
			it a balancing act of driving coherence while ensuring high-quality DX. Such undertaking
			can be challenging unless you have an explicit set of design principles to help guide you.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In this talk, I'll show what such principles look like on the example of Nx, an extensible
			build system I've been leading for the past 5 years.

			<strong>How Spotify engineers use Backstage daily and keep their lives simple</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			You have a complex ecosystem of frameworks, technologies, and platforms. Each with their
			own portal or tooling surrounding it. To remove friction, your autonomous teams all have
			their own implementation. Onboarding new developers is super confusing, and docs are
			scattered around the place. In short: chaos.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			The solution to solving all this fragmentation might as well be.. another portal? Let's
			take a look at Backstage [
			<a href="https://backstage.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">
			  https://backstage.io
			</a>
			], an Open Source platform which you can use to build your own developer portal, is highly
			customisable and adopted by companies like Expedia, Netflix, American Airlines, and Epic
			Games. .
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Suzanne will share the story why Backstage was developed at Spotify, how it became the
			core of their Developer Experience, and eventually a CNCF project. You’ll get a tour of
			the Backstage platform, the plugin ecosystem, an understanding of the key use cases for
			Backstage and how Backstage might be a solution to control the chaos in your organisation.

		  	Although many development teams have now adapted to working remotely, far fewer are developing remotely. We all know the benefits of remote work - freedom and flexibility to work where and when you want - but we don’t often talk about the downsides, specifically thte isolation that comes from working alone.
		  </p>
		  <p>
		  	In this talk, we’ll discuss a few ways that developing remotely can actually help address some of the hurdles your team might face working remotely. Tools on their own can’t fix organizational challenges, but paired with the right operations, your team can get the best of both worlds, with better developer onboarding, developer velocity, and simpler, more secure access to shared resources. 
		  </p>
		  <p>
			So, if you’ve already had success working remotely, maybe it’s time to try developing remotely.

			<strong>"Peer Learning: Your developer adoption safety net"</strong>
		  </p>
		  <div>
			When we try to get other developers to adopt our projects, we’re asking them to take on a
			new learning curve. A large success factor is whether they have access to peer developers
			who can help them debug when they get stuck. This is the difference between developers
			associating your tool with a growing sense of personal mastery, or the isolation,
			frustration, and discouragement that leads them to put their efforts elsewhere. Together,
			we'll dive into why a peer learning network is the stickiness factor to your developer
			experience, anecdotes from successful peer learning communities, and how to lay the
			groundwork for your own.

			  Developer Experience and Product-Led Growth (PLG) - how they enable each other and your
			  developer community, seamlessly.
			</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Developer Experience has become a really hot topic recently, possibly due to less
			traveling in DevRel but also with a shift to strategies like Product-Led Growth (PLG). We
			see internally DX teams too - supporting internal tooling to increase productivity and
			efficiency around the organization or company.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Rather than seeing this shift as a hard company pivot, DX and PLG are really well suited
			to coexist and lead an organization - educating teams on identifying trends and patterns
			in community and customer feedback, turning that feedback into action, and measuring
			success.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			While you don't have to formally do PLG at a company to see value in DX, understanding how
			to speak through PLG and DX will ultimately make the value of a DX team or program even
			greater. I'll share my thoughts on what we are doing a Camunda, including DevRel and DX,
			and how we work together internally to support our external developer community with PLG.

			<strong>How to make a world-class integration testing library?</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Excellent developer experience is a careful balance between boredom and anxiety. Ideally,
			it would make solving simple problems trivial, complex ones simple, and have enough
			flexibility to inspire hope for tackling the impossible ones!
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In this session, we’d like to share the story of Testcontainers - the world’s most popular
			integration testing libraries. And look at the developer experience choices that led
			libraries aimed at a tedious and often ungrateful task of environment setup and
			integration testing to bring joy and even influence how developers approach their projects
			altogether.

			<strong>TDD and the Terminator - An introduction to Test Driven Development</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Getting started with Test Driven Development (TDD) can be very challenging. It requires a
			different mindset and approach to writing and developing code. However, once in that
			mindset, it is very difficult not to write tests first.
		  </p>
		  <p>But why bother writing tests first?</p>
		  <p>
			In this session, we will go through the reasons for writing tests before coding, look at
			architecture and design principles, such as SOLID and see how it all comes together to
			create a more testable and maintainable application.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			I will show you how to get started writing tests first with practical examples on how to
			reprogram a T800 series Terminator so you can start using TDD in your own applications (or
			killer robots from the future).

			<strong>Progressive Delivery with Observability</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Build, test, and deploy can be a bloody nightmare. So we try in non-production
			environments and hold our breath, hoping that everything is okay when we push our
			deployments to production. When it's not okay, we waste time mimicking a fake production
			environment. What if I told you we had a way to monitor our production systems based on
			the data we receive from them?**cough** Observability *cough*
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Let's ask questions about our production systems, allow the data to report back, and
			answer the question, "is it safe to continue?" Using data-driven decisions in our CI/CD
			workflows lets us breathe easy "knowing" what's in front of us.
