Kevin Crawley is a developer evangelist at Instana, an APM and container monitoring service provider, a local organizer for DevOpsDay Nashville and Docker Nashville, and speaks globally on topics including distributed computing, microservices, containers, monitoring, logging, deployment automation, observability, public speaking, alert fatigue, and human ops. He’s been distinguished by his peers as a Docker Captain for his outstanding work with the community and the successful implementation of Docker in Production over the past five years. He’s passionate about sharing the stories of success (and failure) of the teams he works with and his own experiences. Previously, he designed and built distributed scheduling systems using Symfony (PHP), Amazon SQS, DynamoDB, and Redshift. Most recently, he was responsible for designing, building, and delivering a modern software delivery platform using Go and Angular, which was integrated with Docker Swarm and GitLab. This application is capable of delivering phoenix environments and a fully configurable production pipeline. This application manages the SDLC of over 1,000 containers and dozens of engineers building on a Kafka, Cassandra, and Spring Boot ecosystem.
