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.

Through this session we would like to emphasize on how scaling infrastructure can be done seamlessly with the usage of containers and also focus on better ways of deployment, build and testing.
Tsuru is a open source PAAS system. It helps Sysads to create generic infrastructure and platform in place which comes into life once the developer pushes the code. This self servicing mechanism will be useful to reduce the layers like config management. Since Tsuru leverages the features of docker, it supports both - isolation and scaling. For not so adventurous sysads, who are not ready to risk a software which is in heavy development in production, tsuru can be integrated with the build system, the testing infrastructure can be containers which can be spawned and stopped as needed.
Tsuru’s Overview:
The platform(say Apache, nginx, rails) will be a prebuilt docker image. On tsuru create an app specifying the platform required. The app will be given a domain name. Once the user pushes the code which is to be run on the platform, tsuru creates the container, does a checkout of the code. Hipache is used as a reverse proxy. Tsuru associates the domain name of the app in Hipache with the container. The containers can be increased on the fly and the Hipache will be updated accordingly.
To run services like redis, mysql Tsuru uses rest api to contact our server for info of the services. These info are set as Env Variables on the containers which will be used by the code. It’s our logic to provide different instances of services for different apps, or share same instance of services.
Docker, Linux containers (LXC).
