We’ve assembled a panel of experts from the mature DevOps teams of Puppet and Shopify to answer some of your biggest software security questions.

Modern firmware teams need more than just firmware engineers to be successful. You need team members prepared for development and testing as well as post-launch responsibilities like monitoring if you want to scale your devices successfully. If you don't have some mix of hardware, electrical, software, cloud, DevOps and data engineers on your team, you might have to halt feature development while your firmware engineers spend time writing SQL queries to debug connectivity issues.

As an MSP you have a choice to make: Do I keep swimming in the shallow end of the security pool or make my way out to the deep end and become an MSSP? Every MSP needs to be thinking about and actioning a security-minded practice, but do you have to go all in? Of course not. In this MSSP-led partner panel, Joe Panettieri of MSSP Alert dives in on the details surrounding the make or break decision points MSPs face today around security and whether to become an MSSP, merge with or buy one, or simply partner to offer advanced managed security services. Whichever path your on or you choose, these panelists have insight you’ll want to hear.

DevOps principles have helped many organizations improve cross-team collaboration, which has in turn led to increased reliability and velocity in the development lifecycle. In this session moderated by Jason Yee, we hear from panelists who have applied these same DevOps principles to observability, helping them unlock data-based insights and empower teams to make smarter, more informed decisions.

As modern systems become increasingly more complex, the risk of incidents and outages increases. Old approaches to reliability can sometimes be adapted to novel system designs, but other times new methods need to be invented. In this panel session moderated by Datadog’s Jason Yee, you’ll hear from SRE leaders and systems architects across the industry about how they’re designing and operating systems to achieve greater reliability.

Measuring user experience is typically done by tracking metrics like latency and purchase frequency. But these metrics can often obscure real user sentiment. In this panel session moderated by Miranda Kapin, you can learn about better ways to uncover how users are truly experiencing your application and methods for improving their engagement.

Logging is usually an afterthought. When we're creating a feature, we often neglect to think about how we'll observe the actual behavior, and even if we do end up adding proper logging messages - we rarely consider the implications those log lines will have on our bottom line. It's a hidden cost factor, but one that continuously comes up in conversations we have with practitioners. To help shed a light on this topic we gathered a panel of industry veterans, who will come together on November 8th to discuss the problem in depth and offer a completely new approach to solve it.

Site reliability engineering (SRE) can be complicated, and at Datadog, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about SRE and refining how we implement it. Join Datadog’s Brandon West and Rick Mangi as they provide a brief overview of SRE and its core concepts. This video also contains a Q&A session from the live taping of this panel.
