+In this ignite talk I will find humor in the day to day frustrations of what it means to be a "DevOps person"
+
+"The pipeline failed so I commented out the tests". "The infrastructure team is blocking my feature from being deployed". Have you heard these quotes before? Do they make you angry? Why does this keep happening? Far too often application development teams have no concept of how their code is built, delivered, deployed or even tested, and they don't care. Each slide is a caption and meme that hits close to home and finds humor in the challenges faced and the joy when we overcome them.

+
+Microservices, Kubernetes, and Geographically distributed applications ... OH MY! A recent (2022) poll by Kong placed the average number of microservices for a single enterprise at 184! Modern architecture patterns are great at optimizing resource usage, but what happens when you need to make a critical change to one process that spans multiple shared services?
+
+Complex business processes can be difficult to manage and automate. How do you quickly implement changes while maintaining uptime? How do you introduce a new service to an existing process? In this talk, we will discuss how to use Business Process Modeling (BPM) to orchestrate and execute complex business processes in your application. Don't let the name fool you: this not your father's Visio diagram. Everyone should leave this talk with a new approach to solving their orchestration complexities!

+I'm a nerd, and proud of it! I love solving problems and technology is the best way to do that. I work professionally as a Developer Advocate for Camunda. On the side I'm a husband, father, collector of hobbies, gardener, and outdoorsman (hiking, camping, canoeing/kayaking). I enjoy working analog, with my hands, whenever possible. I hate chores and cleaning up after myself.
