As Developers / Managers we almost everyday think and talk about faster / shorter Software Development cycles to increase our market presence/reach. Is there a way to measure how fast we are ?
Speaking of cycle: In Cycling a term “Cadence” is used, which simply means the speed at which you pedal. Cyclists measure this in revolutions per minute, or rpm. Similar to Cadence in Cycling, the cadence of a software team is measured by how fast and how frequent you can take your software live. Can you do this on every day, every week ? Do you have the tools for the same to Scale UP ?
While we try to improve the cadence of the team we have many challenges around Infrastructure Scaling, Test Integration, Configuration Management, Monitoring for uptime, Log Management, Security of Servers, Dev-Test-Prod setups, Maintaining single source of truth for your assets, etc… And how does these changes impact team dynamics ? If you have adopted some strategies have you noticed that your team has improved? do you need more QAs or do you need more sysadmins ? do you really need those many routers, servers or backups?
Rootconf is a conference which tries to address some of the challenges we face when we fine tune our infrastructure to be able to appropriately respond to a business need, while we Scale UP our Cloud or Web Infrastructure.
Developing a good Continuous Integration/Deployment/Testing/Delivery strategy is critical to improve the cadence of your team. Infrastructure and DevOps is an upfront investment human, time & money. The challenge always is whether you’re willing to make that investment right away, or in the future at a much higher cost and effort.
Rootconf is a conference which will help you to plan and develop a strategy map for infrastructure and devops. It will show you the building blocks for reaching a strategy for Infrastructure Scaling, Continuous Integration, Deployment and Delivery.
Rootconf is targeted at individuals, teams and companies that are seeking to scale the effectiveness of their developer teams and performance of their web stacks, thereby increase the Cadence of their software delivery.
Organizations which need a CI and CD strategy to achieve the above will find a substantial headstart in doing so, by attending Rootconf.

This workshop is aimed at beginners to help them to set up Continuous Delivery using Jenkins and its build pipeline plugin.
The workshop will give an overview of:
If time permits, we will also show an overview of how to use a similar setup of CD for Mobile Applications.
It does not matter how good our design or architecture is, at the end of the day what matters is whether our code is ready for production. But the question is, how we make sure that our code is always production ready. As described by Jez Humble [Co-author of Continuous Delivery book] Continuous Delivery [CD] is fast, automated feedback for production readiness of our code when any change that happens to the code or DB or config or the infrastructure.
During this workshop, we will give an overview of Continuous Integration[CI] and Continuous Delivery[CD] and also talk about the practices that are required for implementing CI and CD such as:
We will also walk you through setting up CD using Jenkins and its Build Pipeline Plugin. We will also briefly touch upon open source tools that help with deployment automation such as Chef/Puppet, Capistrano etc.
Participants are expected to get their laptops with Jenkins installed.

Head of Engineering @ Multunus Software, Bangalore. At Multunus, we’ve been doing Continuous Delivery[CD] across platforms, languages and framework such as Ruby/Rails, Javascript, Android and iOS [with RubyMotion]. I’ve spoken about CD during DroidCon India 2011 and AgileIndia 2012. I’ve also conducted workshops on TDD in Android using Roboletric during Droidcon India 2014 and TDD in Angular.js during Angular MiniConf 2014. I will be speaking @ RailsConf, 2014 on a similar topic.
