Overview of my Joyent product management work
Selected speaking
- Sci-fi DevOps
- Lies we tell our code
- Installing Triton Datacenter (Joyent’s competitor to Open Stack) in front of a live audience on an uncooperative network (based on my blog post)
- Also: research notes for a talk I was prepping on operational endurance, with a summary of lessons we can learn from aviation endurance flights
- Long ago: Cloud Mafia meetup (2012), Boston Library Consortium Annual Meeting (2007)
Competitive research
Product highlights
- Product momentum: Container Name Service solved 80% of network ingress use cases faster than we could build a full LBaaS, allowing us to fill other gaps like logging, monitoring, and fabric networks (VPCs)
- Growth multipliers: ContainerPilot and the Autopilot Pattern solidified our product narrative of sci-fi-like developer productivity and joy, created great community response, and allowed us to enter conversations as thought leaders, rather than vendors trying to make a sale
- UX/UI: application management console, building a great reading experience and maximizing ad inventory
- Creating value through documentation and devrel
