Tips to combat impostor syndrome 

Who hasn't said something like: I feel like an impostor? I don't feel legitimate doing this or that.

Some people are convinced that they don't deserve their success, despite the efforts they make to achieve it. They often convince themselves that their success is not linked to their work or their personal achievement, but simply to luck or the work of others. In fact, they live with a constant sense of deception and fear that someone will find them out any day now.

In this talk, we'll take a look at what imposter syndrome is, how it is reflected in everyday life and we'll see that it doesn't have to be this way - on the contrary, there are tips and tricks to combat it, overcome it and improve.

Internet of Things and Data Valorization: Beyond Promises, Challenges, and Risks

The number of sensors and objects connected to the Internet continues to grow, as well as our interactions with the Internet of Things. All of this has multiple consequences on our environment and our way of being and shaping society. The multidimensional impacts of deploying the Internet of Things will be approached from the perspective of risk management in order to address the challenges of data capture and valorization, which are at the core of the development of the digital economy and artificial intelligence.

Databases Belong to Apps and Apps Belong to Git

Databases serve as the data store for applications, yet, we often separate them from the application lifecycle. This separation makes it difficult to manage the lifecycle of the application and the database together. It also makes it difficult to manage the lifecycle of the database itself.

Can we unify application and database lifecycle management and put them into the hands of the developers? Can we create a system through which DBA experience is codified and served as a service?

In this session, we'll explore how we can combine GitOps with Argo CD, Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions through Crossplane, and schema management with Atlas to create a system that will allow developers to define and manage their applications and databases in a simple and consistent way.

Leveraging Large Language Models for Advanced Data Management

In the fast-evolving landscape of data management, data engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity, reliability, and efficiency of information systems. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened up unprecedented opportunities for data professionals, revolutionizing the way data is handled, analyzed, and governed.

In this session, we will explore the transformative impact of LLMs on data engineering practices. Attendees will discover how LLMs can be harnessed to streamline various data management tasks, ensuring the delivery of accurate and reliable data to drive organizations achieving data excellence standards.

Is IT sustainability compatible with DevOps?

With the need for resources savings, IT sustainability best practices should be considered with a high priority by every developer.

DevOps' objective is to fasten the code deployment, from development to production.

Are resources savings and deployment acceleration really compatible ?

Escaping a public cloud using PostgreSQL logical replication with minimal downtime

This is the story of a real customer case: Because it was easy to set up, no real DBAs were around, and costs seemed fine, the customers chose a managed PostgreSQL service in a public cloud to start the project. After a few years, the size of the production database grew to 8TB, resulting in a significant increase in monthly costs.

Exploring the options was one part of the project. Choosing the best of them came after. Then troubles started because we hit all kinds of limitations of a public cloud. This talk is about how logical replication proved to be the ultimate solution.
