This month we'll be discussing how self-service infrastructure reduces toil and empowers engineering teams. We'll also see some examples of Terragrunt in action. Questions we'll address:

- How do you scale provisioning for many individuals who may or may not have direct experience with underlying infrastructure platforms?
- How can self-service reduce toil (work that doesn't contribute to lasting value)?
- What process should be in place to respect existing compliance requirements?
- How can self-service infrastructure improve collaboration?

Agenda:
6:30-7:00pm - Food and Networking
7:00-7:15pm - Announcements/Introductions
7:15- 8:00pm - Presentations
8:15pm-8:45pm - Panel Q&A
8:45-9:00pm - More networking

Presenters/Panelists:

Jason Malstrom

As Salsify engineering embraced Microservices, we soon realized provisioning the supporting infrastructure was becoming a roadblock for developers and toil for operations. In response, operations took on a mission to develop self-service infrastructure that didn't shift the burden while satisfying compliance concerns. Our journey involves utilizing imperfect tooling, learning how to leverage compliance requirements, and fostering a culture of collaboration. We came away with success, lessons learned, and being empowered to continue forward with our DevOps mission.

Jirawat Utayaya

Our local "1.21" friend, Jirawat, will be sharing Terragrunt examples that have helped to build out multiple environments without a lot of cut and paste. He'll review benefits such as: DRY, Don’t Repeat Yourself, Encouraging modularity, Quality of Life enhancements on top of plain terraform like S3 state management and Before/After hooks.

A huge thanks to Salsify for hosting and feeding us this month!
