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.

To showcase how we at Directi, flesh out relevant information for people at all technical and managerial positions, from the events generated by our massive infrastructure in the form of service states, metrics and logs.
Directi’s large infrastructure generates a lot of events in the form of service states, logs and metrics. A lot of information can be fished out from these events and can be presented to different people at different postions and help them to analyse the performance of a product.
Here are a few examples:
The operations head wants the tracking of all outages so that s/he knows how well are we meeting our SLAs
The operations head wants Post Mortem (Root Cause Analyse) to be done for all outages so that they do not recur
The post mortem lead wants to correlate events by custom criteria so that s/he can easily link them to an outage
The team lead wants to see events, outages and post mortem tickets that are relevant to her/his project so that they can easily determine statuses
The product teams want to aggregate events by custom criteria to produce meaning and actionable incidents
The product lead wants to track all the ongoing incidents and see what is the progress on fixing them
The first point-of-contact in the operations wants to automate escalation on incidents to the right person at the right time to cut out all the manually interventions and to facilitate faster resolution
And well, everyone wants a personalized dashboard where they see information which concerns them
So, we have built an application suite, Slant, which does all of these and a lot and lot and lot more.
Working as a System Administrator with Directi for the past two years
