Nudge theory: Influencing empowered teams to do the things that matter to you

December 21, 2019

Successful DevOps means empowering teams. But you still have things you want all teams to do, and you need to balance the benefits of the right technologies against the costs of running multiple data stores, deployment platforms, languages, etc. Sarah Wells offers a brief overview of nudge theory and explores its possibilities for influencing disparate teams to do things for the common good.

On preloads and preloaders

December 21, 2019

Loading all the resources a web page needs is a complex process. Some resources can cause the browser's parser to block, preventing other resources' discovery. In other cases, resources can be hidden from the parser altogether. Yoav Weiss discusses how browsers discover and load resources and explores preload, a new link relation enabling early resource discovery.

Ops-friendly microservices: Front to back
