*********************NEW LOCATION – BAZAARVOICE********************************
The DevOps SIG February meeting will be on Leap Day (February 29th). While no exotic celebrations are planned for this unique confluence of schedules, we will have a lively discussion on the ever-popular problem of how to deal with tightly coupled components while trying to speed your delivery processes. Loosely coupled components, that can be changed at least somewhat independently of each other, is an assumption/goal in many DevOps models, but the reality in many shops is that there are barriers and gaps to getting to this situation. And waiting until it is things are re-architected really isn’t an option in many cases, either. Please come prepared to discuss your ideas and experiences for dealing with these situations.
