Looking back at 25 years of being woken up at night… Who remembers Big Brother? The red screen of hell that coined the term “alert fatigue”? Or Ganglia? We’ve seen a massive amount of open-source tools that improved our lives – some short-lived, some still around. We’ve seen forks and rewrites; some communities thrived, some were betrayed. This is a look back at all of them – and hopefully a chance to learn from our mistakes.
Kris Buytaert is a long-time DevOps and Open Source expert and engineering leader. He recently joined Percona as Practice Lead, Observability. He is one of the instigators of the DevOps movement and has started more than one conference series. He has lost count of how many times he has spoken at other events. He spends most of his time bridging the gap between developers and operations, while warning people not to make the mistakes he made. He builds infrastructures that can survive the 10th floor test or a datacenter fire, while actively promoting the DevOps idea.
