Running Java services in Production
- Matthew Byng-Maddick

Developers understand a lot about writing maintainable code: design patterns, TDD etc., but still our Operations teams often clash with us. 

To help tear down the walls, Matthew, an ex-Facebook Site Reliability Engineer specialising in Hadoop, HBase and HDFS (all written in Java) will talk about what isn’t solved with just these code maintainability principles when it comes to actually having high-quality reliable services in a production environment.

 This includes descriptions of how services might be monitored, what constitutes good logging and code structure, and issues often associated with deployment and startup, and how SRE teams can build tooling to help make things better in conjunction with developers.
