My picks for AllDayDevOps

AllDayDevOps 2020 is happening in 24 hours from now!
It's packed with content and choosing the talks to attend isn't a trivial task.
That's why I decided to compile my own recommendations list.

So here they are - 14 talks to attend at AllDayDevops!

1.
SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING

Laura Nolan, Slack

I like the title of this talk. And I believe folks at Slack know a thing or two about how we work and collaborate.

2.

Bullet-Proof Coding : Adaptive Collaboration for Resilience

Anton Weiss, Otomato Software

Regretfully my own talk occupies the same time slot as Laura's presentation. So you have to choose :)
