Senior Leader, Snyk

This panel brings together senior engineering leads to discuss strategies for choosing the right tech stack, leveraging observability practices, and ensuring that applications are robust and scalable in modern cloud environments.

• How do you evaluate and select the right tools and technologies to optimise application performance in cloud-native environments?
• What role does observability play in maintaining application health, and how do you integrate it into your development practices?
• How can engineering teams balance innovation with reliability when adopting new technologies or services?
• What are the best practices for ensuring scalability and resilience while managing the complexity of modern tech stacks?

Senior Leader, New Relic

In this innovative session, attendees will be faced with a series of scenarios that they may face in their roles. Attendees will discuss the possible courses of action with their peers to consider the ramifications of each option before logging their own course of action. 

‍

Results will be tallied and analysed by our session facilitator and results will impact the way the group moves through the activity.

‍

Will we collectively choose the right course of action?
