About this event

This is a hybrid meetup. In person and virtual via Zoom Webinar

Zoom Webinar Link: Will be posted just before the meetup starts

7:00 - General announcements and news

7:15 - An Introduction to Dagger. A brief overview of Dagger, how to build modules, and how to use Dagger with K8s - Jenn Allen , Product Manager @ Dagger.io

Dagger is a programmable open source CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in containers — pre-push on your local machine and/or post-push in CI. We'll cover what Dagger is, walk through a few simple examples, and look at how to use modules from the Daggerverse to build and publish a containerized app.

Jenn leads technical product management at Dagger, working to reduce the toil software teams face when making apps and services.

8:00 - Leveraging the Power of User Traffic in Dev: Remote Capture and Playback in K8s - Matthew LeRay - Co-founder & CTO @ Speedscale

Observing production workloads with enough detail to find real problems is difficult, but it's getting easier with the rise of eBPF and Kubernetes traffic tools like KubeShark and Speedscale. As the technology becomes better understood, tools like Cilium and Pixie are increasingly appearing in production clusters. But have you ever considered using observed traffic to help with unit tests, Continuous Integration and load testing? This talk will present some examples of how to use collected traffic for a variety of software quality use cases. You'll also get some ideas on using those calls in your Continuous Integration pipeline to sanity check builds before they are deployed. Included in that discussion will be handling some common issues like timestamp skew and authentication.
