Forthscale @ Collision 2015

Description

Anytime management tries to become actively involved in the development process, overhead is always introduced that makes productivity more difficult. The latest trend in trying to combat this is DevOps. But, with any collection of rules comes room for efficiencies.

Forthscale has identified a number of these efficiencies and has helped development teams automate a number of the common tasks. For example, using their Heili platform, they are capable of managing cloud infrastructure automatically. The system can turn on and off cloud servers as needed or on a schedule to save money, or can monitor and alert on system failures and crashes.

Heili is available now.

Trey Davis

Host

Trey was born into a tech career. Instead of going to summer camp as a child, Trey spent summers working at the local news station with his father, an Emmy award winning news director. He honed his audio skills singing in a band, and later worked as a lighting and audio technician for a theme park. Within two years he became the lead technician for the entire park, which included a fully operational CNN sponsored TV station, a full theater and a circus. Later, he became the lead lighting and audio tech for one of the Ringling Bros. circuses, with a stint as a clown for the pure joy of performing. It was at Ringling that he met his wife, who he calls the most beautiful, loving, and funny person he has ever met, and who is also the creator of the 3000 Brigade. Trey was a performer with the 3000 Brigade for nine shows, as well as hosting the 3000 Brigade Podcast, while still doing media on the side. Trey currently edits and cleans audio for PLuGHiTz shows and has also been a special events host.
