Customized modules that provide hands-on experience

We dont just want to talk. The Codesphere Workshop offers different modules that will be tailored to your organization. They feature talks as well as real world use cases and coding sessions to provide hands on experience.

Speakers

Roman Frolov Head of Engineering

You'll learn

  • check-circle Distinction between programming and software engineering
  • check-circle How to eliminate the defect cost multiplier through shift left

About the module

Roman explores how tech companies like Google manage to consistently deliver high quality software at scale. We’ll explore what “attention shift left” really means and how it is implemented. Afterwards development teams have a good idea why design documents, code style, testing, git flows and proper code reviews are not optional in this endeavor. This is the perfect starting point for the culture shift that the whole workshop builds towards.

Tim Schrodi Chief Infrastructure Architect

You'll learn

  • check-circle How CS workspaces work underneath
  • check-circle What makes deployments slow - and how CS can speed it up
  • check-circle How to think about high availability

About the module

Modern containerization stacks are complex systems and not well understood. In this module Tim explores hands on what concepts & technologies Codesphere leverages to provide our advanced & patented deployments. The lesson in applied containerization builds the groundwork for a final chapter on how to think about high availability, a/b testing and advanced routing in modern cloud environments.

Simon Pfeiffer Head of Product

You'll learn

  • check-circle The value of structure & rules
  • check-circle Best practices to build & ship high quality
  • check-circle How they can be copied easily

About the module

Explore how Codesphere solves typical challenges of building high tech products. What processes, guidelines and habits help us successfully build and ship software at scale. We’ll discuss why agile is not the answer to all problems, why some hierarchy is actually needed and how teams can get closer to a continuous delivery workflow. Based on our internal guides we take a hands on tour on actual code reviews, design documents and workflows that work for us.

Speakers

Simon Pfeiffer Head of Product

You'll learn

  • check-circle The value of a product focused culture
  • check-circle Best-practice processes for product teams

About the module

In this module we will explore what questions every product management function should be able to answer and how that can be achieved. We’ll explore both theoretical backgrounds i.e. why that is relevant but also dive deep into how Codesphere manages to instill a product first culture across product and development teams. Afterwards teams have a blueprint to improve everything from deeply understanding stakeholders, to ordering priorities, facilitating a smooth collaboration and to measuring success.

Jonas Ziprick Head of IT Ops

You'll learn

  • check-circle How to build processes to ensure stable software products
  • check-circle How to handle alerting, monitoring and incident responses
  • check-circle How to avoid common mistakes during releases

About the module

We are building a very complex product that needs to fulfill the highest expectations of availability and uptime - this is only possible through great IT operations. Jonas outlines best practices when thinking about, planning for and operating software in production. We’ll share our experiences with respect to SLA, monitoring and alerting, incident response flows and release processes.

Elias Schneider Founder, CEO

You'll learn

  • check-circle How AI works and what it can and cannot do
  • check-circle How the complexity and cost can be reduced
  • check-circle What kind of use cases can be built successfully

About the module

AI can be the ultimate pattern finding tool. In order to identify and implement real world use cases leveraging the latest advances you need a thorough understanding of the functionality. Starting with the basic mathematical concepts we’ll quickly advance to discussing & showcasing actual use case implementations that we have built on top of data secure self hosted AI solutions. Both the complexity and cost challenge of hosting your own AI model can be solved and we aim to show how.

Michal Gornisiewicz Chief Architect

You'll learn

  • check-circle Recognize the main determinator for developers experience
  • check-circle How reviews, tests & guides support continuous improvement

About the module

Developer experience (DX) is crucial for more than just productivity; it directly affects team satisfaction and performance. In this module, we explore ways to enhance DX by organizing your codebase for ease of use and implementing strategies to maintain high developer morale. We'll cover practical steps for improving DX, from the ground up, focusing on real-world applications. By the end of this module, you'll have the tools to create a more engaging and efficient development environment, aiming to tackle common challenges and improve overall team dynamics.

Don’t just take our word for it

Our workshop has already been attended by professional, enterprise level software development teams who are excited about the new perspectives gained.

“During the workshop Codesphere illustrated how best practice processes and their platform come together. The keynotes were really insightful and combined with the hands on example project helped to show how development teams can work in the future: No YAML and no container building needed to get your code up & running. Developers can finally focus on creating actual business value.”
