Unlocking Software Engineering Excellence
Jyoti will dive into software engineering excellence within organizations, the often-overlooked aspect of software development and its profound impact on financial outcomes, competitiveness and the developer experience. He will discuss the importance of measuring and benchmarking, introducing a comprehensive framework for assessment and lead the audience through actionable steps to improve software development processes, harnessing the synergy of people, processes, and tools. The goal is to empower companies to confidently navigate the software-driven landscape, with an understanding of how software engineering excellence is at the core of business success.
Harness InnovationsThe second half of the talk dives into the latest innovations and product updates from Harness. These innovations target accelerated devops, secure devsecops, efficient cloud utilization, and engineering excellence.
After many years of ghostwriting, Emily Freeman made the bold (ridiculous?) choice to switch careers to software engineering. Emily is the author of DevOps for Dummies (April 2019) and the curator of JavaScript January. In this keynote session, Emily will discuss modern team dynamics.
In this segment, we'll explore the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC). We'll delve into AIDA (AI-Driven Development Assistance), its functionalities, and future roadmap. Engaging demos will showcase practical use-cases and customer anecdotes will provide insights into some early successes.
During this segment, we will present the Developer Experience Maturity Model, a collaborative effort led by Harness in partnership with over 150 technology leaders from various industries. Our goal is to demonstrate how organizations can utilize this model to assess and enhance their developer experience. Furthermore, we will delve into the Harness Software Engineering Insights module, which empowers teams with valuable engineering insights and metrics to facilitate continuous improvement.
DevSecOps, which promotes a shift-left approach to security, is increasingly considered a mandatory practice. During this segment, you will learn how customers are automating their application security testing, enabling rapid vulnerability remediation by developers, and enforcing critical governance policies throughout the software delivery pipeline, using the Harness Security Testing Orchestration (STO) module. Live demos will highlight how you too can secure your software supply chain using industry standards such as SBOM and SLSA, thus becoming better prepared for the potential enforcement of US Cybersecurity Executive Order 14028.
Faced with delays due to complex tech stacks from acquisitions and architectural integrations, Deluxe Corporation embraced a cloud-centric DevSecOps approach with Harnesses CI/CD and STO solution to shift left security tests and empower developers with intelligent & timely remediation. Please join Krish in this session to take inspiration from Deluxe's exciting journey and learn about the road ahead for adoption of stronger software supply chain security policies.
In this segment we will discuss how to foster an efficiency-centered culture with Harness Cloud Cost Management, and unveil the latest features and what’s on the horizon. Live demos will illustrate the capabilities of CCM. Additionally, we'll share customer success stories highlighting the tangible benefits realized through effective cloud cost management
Join our panel on cloud efficiency, where we'll tackle collaborative cost-saving, engineer engagement through automation, and the imperatives of accurate cost attribution. Discover the best practices for cloud resource management, designed with automation and intelligence in mind.
Wondering how to supercharge developer productivity from code to production without increasing cognitive overload? The answer lies in Platform Engineering, the next phase in the evolution of DevOps. Join us at this session to learn how Platform Engineering teams are creating self-service experiences for developers using internal developer portals and infrastructure-as-code management solutions. We will announce two exciting new modules as additions to the Harness Platform in this area and also show how you too can create your own golden path to production with built-in governance controls & cost estimations, simply by using multiple Harness modules simultaneously.
Join our panel with Experian and C6 Bank as they delve into the world of Platform Engineering. This engaging conversation will explore the challenges on the journey to providing exceptional developer experience, and strategies to minimize developer toil and cognitive load through the effective use of automation. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the best and revolutionize your approach to developer experience!
Join us for Happy Hour directly following general session. We'll have light bites, open bar and entertainment.
