A pipeline to get you excited!
Continuing our series for the London Ruby Unconference 2017, in this post Gerhard Lazu (Twitter) talks a little bit about his workshop for the event!
For the workshops, attendees should bring their laptops with a terminal for executing CLI commands, a git client for cloning a repo and a text editor to edit some YAML!
Jairo: Hi Gerhard, tell us about yourself!
I love infrastructure. Every day is a lesson in deploying and operating distributed, stateful services. I help others understand and optimise large-scale clusters, mostly RabbitMQ.
Jairo: How would you introduce your topic in an interesting fashion to a person that has (at least) a basic Ruby programming level?
Let me show you how to apply the UNIX pipeline philosophy to delivering the code that you help shape every day.
Jairo: What could be a nice practical application of the things someone would learn in your session?
A sane & simple continuous integration and/or deployment. The experience can be continued in the form of auto backups & restores, auto dependency updates, PaaS build-outs & culminate in full automation of pretty much anything that can be invoked in a shell session.
Jairo: Will you be doing any hands-on demo in your session?
Yes, most work will happen in the terminal, some in your browser of choice
Jairo: Awesome! Thanks Gerhard!
We have other people offering to run workshops and topics and there's still plenty of room if you wish to contribute to the Unconference. Get your ticket and optionally let us know if you would be interested in being one of the session leaders at the event.
We hope to see you there!
