How to improve the developer experience in Heptapod/GitLab
Automate the dull works to focus on development
<p>Logilab has been using heptapod, a GitLab fork with mercurial support, for 2 years now.
We are maintaining the open source software CubicWeb and its components called cubes.
Thus, the code is split in dozens of repositories, depending on one another.
Over the years, it has become hard to maintain code quality and good practices in the whole codebase.</p>
<p>In this talk, we will present the tools that helped us.
Some of them are mercurial specific, but most could be used in GitLab.</p>
<ul>
<li>Create Merge Request automatically across repositories based on some rules, such as deprecation warnings.</li>
<li>Pick a reviewer for Merge requests based on the developers' preferences</li>
<li>Making sure to commit, tag, update the changelog, publish to PyPi when releasing a new version</li>
<li>Mutualize GitLab CI configurations with templates</li>
<li>Host docker images of your project on the forge</li>
<li>Have up-to-date static websites, documentation or web applications</li>
</ul>
<p>Each use case can be solved easily, but combining them is what truly makes developer life easier.</p>

<p>Continuous Delivery is all about getting your software released, and as software/system complexity continues to increase, so does the need to have many different tools, services and even people involved in building, verifying, deploying and monitoring your software. So, how do we make all these tools and services work together to complement each other without creating a massive spider web of explicit interconnectedness? CDEvents!</p> <p>In this talk, Andrea Frittoli and Erik Sternerson will ...

<p>Jenkins a self-contained, open-source automation server used in automation of all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software. With high extensibility through plugins to provide much of the user-needed functionality. One such plugin is the Git plugin which deals with git operations for Jenkins project but lacked authenticated access to git repositories for Pipeline users. The Git Credentials binding project provides an out of the box solution by ...

<p>Things like Infrastructure as Code, Service Discovery and Config Management can and have helped us to quickly build and rebuild infrastructure but we haven't nearly spend enough time to train our self to review, monitor and respond to outages. Does our platform degrade in a graceful way or what does a high cpu load really mean? What can we learn from level 1 outages to be able to run our platforms more reliably.</p> <p>This talk will focus on on setting up a CICD pipeline using Jenkins. We ...

<p>Unikernels are bespoke, single-address space, lightweight Virtual Machines which do one thing and one thing only: fully facilitate the runtime of one application. Unikernels represent a compile-time specialization strategy and leverage the joining of user and kernel space via a library Operating System in order to achieve this, offering as a result incredible runtime performance whilst increasing application security via isolated hardware virtualization. As Unikraft, an open-source unikernel ...
