Keynote – James Governor
summary
Claim: developers become the new kingmakers, backed by concrete examples — Instagram $1B 13 employees, WhatsApp $19B 55 employees and one engineer takes ~40%, and engineering practices that scale like Erlang enabling ~1M registrations/day. Notes on tools and outcomes: Visual Studio Code succeeds with ~20 people, Stripe ships a working payments app same day in an RFP, Kubernetes plus Jenkins X and chaos engineering drive progressive delivery (blue/green, canary) and observability so deployments work rather than just ship.
