Events and webinars

Ambassador Community Office Hours are a series of virtual office hours hosted by Developer Advocate Peter O'Neill. Each session will focus on on a topic specific to making the most out of your Ambassador Labs products.

These office hours are meant to be laid back and provide our community a space where you can ask questions live and in a casual format and get them answered by the Ambassador Labs team in real-time. Come hang out with us!

Join fellow Go programming enthusiasts, professionals and the just-curious for an evening of presentations, learning and socializing.

We aim to be a welcoming and inclusive group regardless of your skill level, race or gender identity. Don't hesitate to come and spend some quality time with us as we explore all that Go has to offer.

Speakers/Talks

Unable to reproduce an issue locally and the production logs aren’t helping? Let me show you how to debug your local Go services as if they were in the production cluster with Telepresence, then iterate at speed with Skaffold creating your ultra-fast inner-dev-loop.
With Peter O'Neill, Developer Advocate at Ambassador Labs

This event features a panel of experienced Java experts and community leaders who’ll be having a lively, interactive discussion that will spotlight the state of debugging Java in development, in 2021.

Our expert panel will address how to navigate around the challenges of debugging in the context of:

1. How to reduce time to diagnosis and accelerate time to fix
2. What tools & methods are available for debugging complex applications
3. How test failures can slow down the velocity of CICD test automation and how to prevent this
4. The benefits of automating the recording of software failures (Software Failure Replay)
5. Top tips for collaborative and remote debugging in the age of remote working
6. How to improve code understandability and the benefits of doing so

Join our leading experts to share your challenges, hear from others who have similar challenges and learn about some of the best tools and techniques available for debugging and resolving test failures fast.

Due to popular interest, we're following up the recent introductory session on Kubernetes for Java Developers with a stellar panel of Java luminaries for a no-hold-barred discussion on what it actually takes to successfully set up, run and manage k8s clusters at scale - from the experts with the scars to prove they've done it.

We'll warm up with a few starter questions and then open it up to the audience, so please join us for what promises to be an awesome evening.

Questions we expect to cover include:

What is the biggest challenge for Kubernetes as a Java developer?

What do you wish you knew when you started out?

What tips do you have for people running production clusters at scale?

Where do you see the platform headed in the future?

What is your worst / best k8s battle story?

What's the biggest myth you'd like to bust about k8s and Java?

This event is organised by RecWorks on behalf of the London Java Community.

Great ideas need to be easy to explore in order to make great products. Standing up a development sandbox that mirrors your production environment is made fast and simple with the K8s Initializer from Ambassador Labs. In just a few minutes and with just a few clicks to describe what you need, you can be up and running and focusing on what matters the most - your idea. We invite you to watch as Daniel Bryant from Ambassador Labs and David Yu from Hashicorp show you just how simple it is to go from prototype to (almost) production with Ambassador Edge Stack & the Consul service mesh in no time at all.

An online meetup where members of the community can connect directly with our engineers and other users to exchange ideas and ask questions. There will be lightning talks by Ambassador and Telepresence engineers, demos, office hours, and AMAs.
