Choosing the right open-source project to use can be quite challenging - not knowing if it’s going to be the right fit, how it will behave, and if you end up wasting time trying to make it all work. We’ve all been there. But what if we tell you that there’s a practical way to have a clear understanding of how to incorporate an OSS project in your environment? Hila will speak about the DevOps perspective on open-source and the challenges Infra-focused engineers have with choosing the right project for their environment. As a DevOps Engineer, she has seen a lot of things, and stumbled upon a lot of non-based decisions, so she will present practical advices on how to choose an OSS project for your dev/prod environment and will talk about the business mindset you should have to evaluate the key indicators based on your needs and specific pain points. This talk is ideal for developers who want to gain insight into the DevOps perspective on OSS, DevOps and SREs who can benefit from key metrics for choosing an OSS project, and managers and tech leads who are looking to incorporate OSS into their organization. By the end of this talk, attendees will have actionable metrics and indicators that will help them choose the right OSS project for their dev/prod environment, making them more inclined to adopt OSS in their organization and amplify its impact.
