Sam Newman is a technologist at ThoughtWorks, where he currently splits his time between encouraging and sharing Innovation globally and working as the architect for internal systems. He has worked with a variety of companies in multiple domains around the world, often with one foot in the developer world, and another in the IT operations space. If you asked him what he does, he’d say ‘I work with people to build better software systems’. He has written articles, presented at conferences, and sporadically commits to open source projects. While Java used to be his bread and butter, he also spends time with Ruby, Python, Javascript, and Clojure, Infrastructure Automation and Cloud systems. He is currently writing a book on building Microservices, which should be available in the Autumn of this year from O'Reilly.

Presentation: Deploying And Testing Microservices

Time: Wednesday 14:10 - 14:40 / Location: Metropolitan 3

What do deployment pipelines look like when your system consists of 10s of different types of services? How do you know what to test before deployment? Should you release a service at a time, or bunch them up? This talk goes into the nitty gritty of managing build,test and release of micro services and also covers the often ignored tradeoff between testing before deployment, and testing afterwards.
