Baruch Sadogursky
Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate, Gradle
Baruch Sadogursky (@jbaruch) did Java before it had generics, DevOps before there was Docker, and DevRel before it had a name. He started DevRel at JFrog when it was ten people and took it all the way to a successful $6B IPO by helping engineers solve problems. Now Baruch keeps helping engineers solve problems but also helps companies help engineers solve problems. He is a co-author of the “Liquid Software” and “DevOps Tools for Java Developers” books, serves on multiple conference program committees, and regularly speaks at numerous most prestigious industry conferences, including Kubecon, JavaOne (RIP), Devoxx, QCon, DevRelCon, DevOpsDays (all over), DevOops (not a typo) and others. After a tenure of eleven years in JFrog DevRel, Baruch is the Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate at Gradle.
Presentations
As we have successfully integrated DevOps practices into our software development processes, it’s time to reframe our approach and embrace Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE). DPE focuses on optimizing workflows, automating mundane tasks, and providing real-time feedback to developers, offering a natural progression from the DevOps methodology.
In this engaging and informative talk, we’ll delve into how DPE reframes the foundations laid by DevOps, further enhancing collaboration, tooling, and data-driven insights to improve the overall development process. Discover why mastering DPE is essential for all engineering roles, including Platform and Site Reliability Engineers, as it aligns with core principles such as reducing toil, promoting automation, and implementing observability. Explore how DPE empowers teams to proactively identify and address potential issues, ultimately leading to increased system reliability, improved user experiences, and a more enjoyable and rewarding work environment for engineers.
