Eclectic Code Designer
Waldo is a Tech Evangelist for Datadog, which normally means that he gets to travel and meet people, and advocate on their behalf. He is a recovering SRE and Operations Engineer, has been active in the DevOps community for quite some time, and is keen on helping organizations stop hurting themselves. Despite being a raging introvert, he enjoys public speaking. In his spare time, he enjoys collecting hobbies that he doesn’t have the time to engage in. He hates writing about himself in the third person, and aspires to one day be a better bio writer.
It might seem like Datadog is a young pup born into microservices. However, like many organizations we started with larger code bases and VMs. Scaling the company while building a system that handles trillions of data points every day required a shift in how we work and the tools we use.
In this session, I’ll share tips for how to break apart your monoliths and large code bases into faster, loosely-coupled services. I’ll give advice for managing your services and troubleshooting issues in a microservice environment. And more importantly, I’ll share strategies for getting buy-in and alignment across your organization.
