How CQRS got our web scale groove backThis year Joost and Ivo were invited to give their tutorial 'Docker for Testers' at the EuroSTAR Conference. Docker has been instrumental in speeding up the development process at bol. com.
We won the award for Best Tutorial at the EuroSTAR 2017 conferenceUncover how bol's data science team reimagined logistics forecasting by building a sustainable data foundation. Instead of quick fixes, they restructured workflows, embraced monotasking, and aligned their codebase with evolving needs. This journey offers insights and lessons for anyone curious about strategic data engineering.
Fast is slow, slow is fast - rethinking Our Data Engineering ProcessWhat's it really like to go from writing code to leading people? In this episode, we talk with Babiche and Nikolas, who recently transitioned from engineer to Engineering Manager. They share the hard truths—from learning to let go of coding during incidents to the surprising power of walking meetings. If you've ever wondered what an EM actually does all day or are considering the move yourself, this conversation is for you.
From Engineer to Engineering ManagerWith 2 of our engineers, we look into how we keep enhancing the quality of our webshop using canary testing and analysis, contract testing and end-to-end testing in isolation.
Growing quality in our webshopWe discuss the latest version of the tech radar. Especially the way we implemented it and the process to get things on the radar will be recognisable for you.
Tech Radar - hard discussions lead to transparencyIf you are interested in Product Discovery or interested in how Platform teams can add loads of value to Product Teams, this is an episode for you.
