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.

In this flash talk we shall have a brief look at the emerging leaders in the Infrastructure Automation space and identify the key challenges ahead.
Over the past few years an immense amount of energy has been focused on Infrastructure Automation, the final frontier in cloud computing! This has resulted in a diverse set of technologies, promoted by the various key players, vying for attention of the DevOps folks. To make matters more complicated automation across the various layers of a typical enterprise application deployment typically end up being the forte of different technologies based on the choice of development platform (Java/Java EE, .Net, Node.js, Python, RoR, PHP, etc.) and the choice of deployment platform (RHEL, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, Windows Server, etc.)
Almost 20 years of global and cross-cultural experience in Strategic Consulting, Solution/Product Architecture, Program/Project Management, and Implementation in various industry verticals such as e-Commerce, Advertising and Marketing, Map Data Management, Petrochemicals, Publishing, Pharmaceuticals, Third-Party Logistics, Food Retail and Insurance.
Proficient at evangelizing new technologies and methodologies within an organization by organizing boot camps, seminars, and hackathons.
