Closing out #QConNYC in the chaos track is @otterbook on "turning it off and on again". He's promised to make my life "interesting" as a livetweeter so let's see how this goes.
@otterbook .@otterbook also has the best pre-talk dramatic/heroic amp-up music, which I'm digging. #QConNYC
This is going to be a very high audience participation talk, and is an experimental talk, says @otterbook. #QConNYC
I unfortunately have some @GCPcloud NEXT prep to do, so I need to duck out halfway through the next block of talks :/ livetweets will cut out halfway but I want to signal-boost as much of @eanakashima and @rachelmyers's talk on accidental distributed systems as I can. #QConNYC
@GCPcloud @eanakashima @rachelmyers They used to work together at GitHub and ModCloth. "So a cloud vendor and tool vendor walk onto a stage..." but they're not selling anything, they're talking about their worst work problems. #QConNYC
Turn the clocks back to 2012 at ModCloth. They were running a rails app with a mysql backend. More engineers writing more code, but deploying only once a week on Friday... more code going out every week and deployers less familiar with the code. #QConNYC
Post-lunch, I'm still in the Chaos track, now with @tammybutow presenting on Chaos and Resiliency! #QConNYC
@tammybutow How you apply chaos engineering depends upon the scale of your infrastructure. #QConNYC
It's like riding a bicycle; you can't just hop on and ride at full speed.

Onto the Chaos Engineering track with me, where I'll be livetweeting @rynchantress on Resilience and Human Interventions. #QConNYC
@rynchantress Finally, @rynchantress gets to tell their side of the story of nearly breaking etsy.com and winning the three-armed sweater. #QConNYC
Once upon a time a few years ago, they were doing server provisioning for Etsy, who were operating own their datacenters and had a "lovingly hand-crafted set of tools to transform a server from a newly racked server into a webserver or database server." #QConNYC
Next up is @micheletitolo on how to successfully operate microservices, continuing the theme @adam7mck and I started on microservice observability. #QConNYC
"What I noticed is that nobody really defined what a microservice is, yet we've been hearing about distributed systems... microservices are a distributed system." -- @micheletitolo #QConNYC
We do it for speed, safety, and to cut costs, even though there are sometimes costs associated with getting started. #QConNYC
