Baruch Sadogursky

Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate, Gradle

Baruch Sadogursky (@jbaruch) did Java before it had generics, DevOps before there was Docker, and DevRel before it had a name. He started DevRel at JFrog when it was ten people and took it all the way to a successful $6B IPO by helping engineers solve problems. Now Baruch keeps helping engineers solve problems but also helps companies help engineers solve problems. He is a co-author of the “Liquid Software” and “DevOps Tools for Java Developers” books, serves on multiple conference program committees, and regularly speaks at numerous most prestigious industry conferences, including Kubecon, JavaOne (RIP), Devoxx, QCon, DevRelCon, DevOpsDays (all over), DevOops (not a typo) and others. After a tenure of eleven years in JFrog DevRel, Baruch is the Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate at Gradle.

DevOps Reframed: Embracing the Path to Developer Productivity Engineering

8:30 AM MDT

Building on the success of DevOps practices, which already employ the Theory of Constraints to tackle bottlenecks, Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) emerges as the next natural progression. DPE takes a step further by optimizing workflows, automating tasks, and providing real-time feedback to developers, keeping software delivery nimble and efficient.

In this engaging talk, we'll explore how DPE enhances the DevOps framework, streamlining the development process throughout the software delivery lifecycle. See why mastering DPE is essential for all engineers, including Platform and Site Reliability Engineers, as it aligns with core principles like reducing toil, promoting automation, and implementing observability, all while keeping bottlenecks at bay.

With a touch of wit and insight, learn practical tips to harness DPE's power and elevate your software development game. Join us as we reframe the DevOps landscape, revealing the importance of DPE as the next step in our software development evolution, ensuring continued success and growth by effectively managing constraints and bottlenecks.

Liquid Software: How to Achieve Trusted Continuous Updates in the DevOps World

by Fred Simon, Yoav Landman, and Baruch Sadogursky

Software affects everything in our lives.Imagine that software could be constantly updated without our involvement! No need to figure out hardware specifications. Nothing to interrupt our digital activities. No waiting for lengthy downloads and reboots. What if it all just happened in the background, and we could simply enjoy the benefits?

Liquid Software explores a future in which developers code high-quality applications that securely flow to end-users with zero downtime. The authors bring insights from their more than 50 years of collective experience in building software in modern development environments. They explain that what sounds like Software Utopia is possible and practical!

We’re at the dawn of the next great leap forward in computing – the achievement of continuous software updates. The Liquid Software revolution has begun!
