OpenCredo participates to the Tech Community by regularly speaking at conferences.
We are excited to share that our Technical Delivery Director James Bowkett will be speaking at ODSC East. A conference dedicated to the latest languages, tools, and frameworks in data science, AI, ML and DL.
Data is everywhere, and so too are data-centric applications. As the world becomes increasingly data-centric, and the volumes of that data increase over time, data engineering will become more and more important. If we’re going to be dealing with petabytes of data it will be better to get the fundamentals in place before you start, rather than trying to retrofit best practices onto mountains of data. This only makes a difficult job harder.
The 12-factor app helped to define how we think about and design cloud native applications. In this presentation, I will discuss 12 principles of designing data-centric applications that have helped me over the years across 4 categories: Architecture & Design, Quality & Validation (Observability), Audit & Explainability, Consumption.
This has ultimately led to our teams delivering data platforms that are both testable and well-tested. The 12 factors also enable them to be upgraded in a safe and controlled manner and will help them get deployed quickly, safely and repeatedly.
This talk will be filled with examples and counter examples from the course of my career and the projects that my teams have seen over the years. It will incorporate software engineering best practices and how these apply to data-centric engineering. We hope that you can benefit from some of our experience to create higher quality data-centric applications that scale better and get into production quicker.
Join our parent company Trifork in Copenhagen on March 19th for a event on Observability!
Observability is revolutionising the way businesses operate. Together with leading providers like Splunk, Dynatrace, Datadog, and New Relic the conference will dive deep into this from both strategic and hands-on perspectives.

OpenCredo Speaking
Speaker: Nicki Watt
We are excited to announce Nicki Watt will be speaking at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 conference on the 19th March. It is an hybrid event that will take place in person and gathers adopters and technologists from leading open source and cloud native communities
Kubernetes tends to be one of the first tools reached for when building platforms and supporting platform engineering initiatives. But success relies on a lot more than just making K8S itself easier for developers to consume. Working out how to balance people, process, policy and technology within a unique organisational context is key to uncovering a feasible and sustainable path forward.
This talk will explore how the recently released CNCF platform maturity model can be used as part of a toolbox to help guide organisations think through such journeys. We begin by identifying a few common scenarios organisations find themselves starting in, and map this onto the model. Then, leveraging our experience of having partnered with different organisations on their platform engineering journeys, we plot out a few paths and options which can help to practically move organisations towards achieving desired business outcomes.
