Did I break prod? - Ewelina Wilkosz - NDC Oslo 2023

Did I take down prod? 🙀 Seeing beyond git push wasn’t something I cared about when I started my career in software development. But then the horror of experiencing a “did I take prod down?” caused a valuable change in my perspective. Today, fullstack developers are faced with a set of overwhelming tasks and responsibilities. We need to code, write automated tests, understand pipelines and deployments, care about security, and own our production environments - “you build it, you run it.” It’s a lot of stuff to navigate! 😅 But what if there’s an easier way? What if developers were able to access all the information they require without digging across tools and logs. What if we gave developers the observability they need to do their jobs without overloading them? In this talk I’ll explain how SBOM’s, binary provenance, attestations and more can help developers see the bigger picture. I will show how you can use common open source tools and techniques to create better visibility across the value stream, and perhaps form the basis of a minimum viable developer platform. Because despite the complicated ecosystem we need to navigate these days, work shouldn’t cause stress and headaches, it can be really fun instead!
