Hello Brooooklyn!
NYCK8s is finally headed over the bridge! We're excited to venture over to the beautiful, & conveniently located, United Technologies Digital Accelerator space in DUMBO.
Beyond the views from 55 Water, Michael Ibarra from UTC will take us through testing Kubernetes objects using Terratest. Terratest is an open source framework written in Go. Come find out how United Technologies Digital Accelerator is using Terratest in their environment.
Then, Charity Majors from Honeycomb.io will present on testing in production. TLDR : it's gotten a bad rap. Only production is production, & the only way to gain confidence in your code is to bake it in production over time & a range of workloads. Charity will detail how to do this responsibly without impacting end users! She'll speak on a broad range of options from capture/replay to canaries, production load testing to chaos engineering, & the instrumentation-based observability that lets cluster admins sleep well at night.
SPONSORED: Big thanks to NetApp & United Technologies Digital Accelerator for their support.
