Description

Keynote: Scaling Argo for the Enterprise - Raziel Tabib, Founder and CEO, Codefresh & Thansha Sadacharam, Tech Learning & Insights, Peloton

The DevOps movement was all about removing boundaries and accelerating application development. Now more than ever, it's paramount to embrace automation that lets your developers do what they do best and let them focus on the things that are important to them. In this Keynote, Thansha Sadacharam from Peloton will talk about how the Argo Project helped them be more productive. Also, Raziel Tabib will talk about how Codefresh is democratizing GitOps to enable all teams reap the same benefits.

A

Good morning, everyone well, first of all, I might say super excited first time, argo, corn in person- I remember the first one we had last year uh with an amazing attendance, but to see that in person that's super super exciting. My name is raziel tabib, ceo and founder of codeflesh um codewash is a continuous delivery platform with basically an enterprise platform for argo, cd, rollout event and workflow, and I'm happy to be here with tansha hi.

B

Everybody I lead. The tech, learning and insights team at peloton uh really really excited to be sharing the stage here today. Okay,.

A

So we thought of starting with the major changes that we see in the market the transformation. Basically, these changes are the changes that help us revise our practices that affect our roadmaps of the technology and the platform, and these changes are basically happening in um three levels.

A

The first level is the role I think we've heard patrick talk a lot about the developer, experience and so on. So what we see basically out there is that, while still many of the devops platform cater predominantly for the devops, we see the modern platform making developers the first class citizens within the platform really focusing on developer experience, making them part of the process, helping them getting their devops services in a self-serve fashion and so on.

A

The second that we see is the practices, the automation, so pipelines and workflow still here, and we see that continue to be here for a long time, there's still a need for automation in the devops, but we see more and more companies adopting practices of gear, ups, declarative way of deploying software and obviously progressive delivery, rollouts, um whether it's canary and blue, green and so on. Last but not least, we talked about cloud native. We heard about the definition of cloud native earlier today.

A

That's obviously why you know many of us are here today. We want to see how we can build application in an easier way and deploy them to cloud native. So with that I'll, let you take it from here and amazing share how you implement it within peloton. Thank.

B

You, okay, so um at peloton, a lot of our engineers use a variety of different tools. So, if you're an engineer on the machine learning team, the tools that you use are gonna look a little bit different than, if you're an engineer on our leader, our leaderboard team or our ecom team and argo's a really good example of this, because it's not used equally across all of engineering.

B

Instead, it's used quite heavily by our platform engineers to create great developer experiences, and this is because we know that engineers come to peloton to build products that help our members live. Healthier, happier, lives. We've already heard this, but we know a lot of engineers. Aren't super excited about building infrastructure.

B

Thinking about pods and our platform team knows that, but they in particular, are quite excited about this developer experience and improving it, and so last year my team was tasked with answering this question: how do you effectively scale bringing engineers into an organization that builds so many different things?

B

And so, in order to tackle that question, we came up with a solution which is we call tech on our technical onboarding program and what this program does is, instead of bringing everyone who comes into peloton and getting them ramped up on how we use tools like ergo, we decided to take a common but customized approach so that you, as an engineer, learn what engineering at telephone is all about, while also getting some personalized and customized content, depending on the type of team you're joining and the type of work you're going to be doing so.

B

We actually built out a very specialized argo course for our engineers that are going to be working, the closest with this tool, um and what that meant is that we were able to leverage a peer-to-peer learning model. So remember those engineers that I was talking about earlier. There are excited about infrastructure in the developer experience they actually get to teach this course they're. Really the subject matter. Experts on this topic at peloton and we're really excited about the work that they've been able to do so through this program.

B

We continue to deliver it today and bring engineers into the business. It's helped us reduce our time to first pull requests by 83 percent, uh so really really excited to be sitting at three and a half days there, something that I know my team is really excited about. That leadership is excited about that all the new engineers that joined peloton are excited about, and I know that our subject matter.

B

Experts and our platform engineers are also really excited about this and, as peloton continues to evolve and as the way that we use argo continues to evolve. I'm sure that our subject matter experts and our courses will continue to evolve with us.

A

This is this is really really great and in fact you know our our mission in court first is really to democratize um the same practices that you guys have implemented, and I want to stress out before we closing today our commitment to the argo technology. You know we've built a platform on argo. Algo is critical for us. We remain committed to push this technology forward, both from committing to the uh um to the open source.

A

I think we've seen earlier the number of contributors as well on the education we've launched our certifications, we're launching another certification level, so you're welcome to sign up. Thank you.

B

Thanks everybody.
