Ali AKCA
Pragmatic Software Engineer on Cloud-Native Solutions
As a Software Engineer, my proficiency extends beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing key aspects of platform engineering and DevOps practices. This unique blend allows me to design and implement sophisticated, scalable, resilient, cloud-native architectures that are adaptable to evolving business needs.
I’m a coffee junkie, always ready for my next caffeine fix. In a lighter vein, I often muse that had I not ventured into software engineering, an alternative career path might have led me down the road to becoming a super villain – superpowers or not.
Currently, my focus is deeply invested in innovating within the Kubernetes ecosystem. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to make meaningful contributions to the open-source world, continually pushing for improvements in technology and approaches within this dynamic field.
Session
In the realm of software development, CI/CD stands as a cornerstone, guiding us towards efficiency and agility. However, as the pace of technology accelerates, the traditional tools of Bash and YAML, which have been reliable allies, are starting to show their age. This session is a call to arms for developers, DevOps practitioners, and sysadmins who are on the lookout for the next evolution in CI/CD practices.
We'll dive into the concept of CI/CD as code, spotlighting innovative tools like Dagger.io that offer fresh perspectives and solutions. Our focus will be on how these new approaches can address the challenges we face with current practices, enhancing scalability, maintainability, and the overall efficiency of our pipelines.
Our journey will be both exploratory and practical, aiming to equip you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the changing landscape of CI/CD. By sharing real-world experiences and strategies, we'll foster a collaborative environment where we can all learn from each other's successes and hurdles.
Join us as we venture into the future of CI/CD, embracing the possibilities that CI/CD as code brings to the table. This session is not just about listening; it's an invitation to engage, experiment, and elevate our CI/CD practices together. Let's embark on this path of continuous improvement, ready to transform our pipelines and set new benchmarks in software development.
