Staying Alive: Patterns for failure management
Training for technical diving prepares you for situations in a high pressure environment where failures are unavoidable but also highly dangerous. It means surviving in a hostile environment with limited resources where the failure of individual components can trigger deadly failure cascades. A diver who can’t understand how to do proper post-accident analysis and who hasn’t learned to repeatedly survive through failure is a liability to themselves and to others. This talk uses the framework of technical SCUBA and rebreather diving to talk about patterns for failure management and how they can be applied in an engineering context.

Go 1.11: What the new modules in Go are all about
Go packages don't have versions or dependencies. At least, not yet. With Go 1.11 and its experimental support for versioned Go modules, this is changing.

DevOps becomes BizDevOps
The full advantage of DevOps can only be achieved if development and operations work together with the specialist departments and management on a value adding product. Or to put more radical: The topic is no longer called DevOps, but BizDevOps. The integration of business and DevOps changes the cooperation, organization, and processes of companies. All involved must set impulses for the digital transformation of the company and can generate economic benefits faster.

Finding Metrics that matter and using them safely
Data-driven decision-making is a goal of most leaders today.
