Eugene was kind enough to video the talk; so if you’re interested in catching a replay, it’s available on Vimeo in five 20 minute segments. Here’s the first video as a teaser:

With three tech talks in three cities in three days, it didn’t leave much time for sightseeing. But I did have a few days at the end in Bangalore to catch up with friends and former colleagues.

Here are the slides from the presentation. They did evolve a bit over the course of the tech talks (and hopefully improve).

The presentation also stimulated some good side chatter on twitter. In general, zero-downtime database deployment, continuous monitoring and WAGMI seemed to be popular topics. Thanks to everyone who made it out and contributed. Your feedback has been very helpful in refining the presentation.

Also, a big thanks to Naresh and Amit for organizing the event and ensuring that we were well taken care of.

The conference consists of three talks over three days in three different Indian cities: Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. I will be speaking alongside Lisa Crispin and Bhavin Turakhia. My talk (unsurprisingly) will be on weekly releases and will be quite similar to the presentation that I gave at Devteach.

I am really looking forward to returning to India for this trip and catching up with friends and former colleagues there. I will be in Mumbai on Wednesday and Thursday, Hyderabad on Friday, and Bangalore on Saturday through Monday. So if you are around and want to head out for maharashtrian food or chaat, MTR or kamat, or whatever local delicacies they have in Hyderabad, please let me know. Also, a big thanks to my friend Naresh Jain for organizing the whole thing.
