This month we held our meetup at the one of our favourite venues, DigitasLBI. As usual, 3 great speakers followed by beer and pizza afterwards.

Derek Fowler (The Trainline)
Trainline and AWS CodeDeploy, the story so far

At Trainline we embarked on an ambitious cloud migration journey to AWS around a year ago and as part of this we’ve adopted AWS CodeDeploy as our deployment management mechanism. In this talk I’ll discuss where we’re up to with a focus on some interesting challenges we’ve faced getting CodeDeploy to play nicely with our hosting model.

Derek is a developer on Trainline’s Platform Services team building platform and infrastructure automation tools. He’s worked as a developer and architect for 12 years in a variety of sectors from tourism and ecommerce to medical and financial services with a focus on the Microsoft stack, Azure and AWS.
