TeamSPS

Moments from life at SPS Commerce and our #TeamSPS community. Highlights include company meetings announcing sponsorships, Tech Connect conferences, volunteer projects and social events like hockey games.

    Tech support walkup session for #TeamSPS. Great way to solve problems and build connections in the team! Making it easy for our team! Love the experiments that Dan Megears and his team are doing to help us operate smoothly! In house Genius Bar!

    Welcome to “The Cloud”! The #TeamSPS space rocks. 😊

    Glass door etched with the words the CLOUD and cloud shapes, leading into a modern office lounge with red bar stools and pendant lights.

    Awesome to hear SPS Commerce won Tekne Awards this evening! Missing event due to AWS re:Invent. Shout out to #TeamSPS!

    AWS re:Invent - Day 2

    Excited for Werner Vogels AWS re:Invent keynote!

    Large conference keynote with a speaker on stage in front of a projected slide reading Werner Vogels Chief Technology Officer Amazon.com

    Great groove!

    Awesome! AWS container service!

    AWS is first cloud platform with container support. Yes?

    Some CLI geekdom in the AWS re:Invent keynote. Nice!

    Large conference hall audience watching a dark presentation slide showing command-line interface text on a big screen, with illuminated pillars and stage lighting visible.

    Impressive Docker AWS container demo at re:Invent!

    AWS Lambda announced! AWS Lambda has big potential for #TeamSPS!

    Skrillex performing at re:Play!

    Expecting a packed Lambda breakout session at re:Invent!

    Packed conference room audience seated in chairs facing a stage with AWS re:Invent branding and a slide reading Getting Started with AWS Lambda

    AWS #reinvent should hand out copies of Strucuture of Computer Programs to celebrate Lambda.

    Book cover of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Second Edition by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman

    Love AWS Lambda bringing cloud scale to functional workloads. Opens up amazing potentials.

    Lots of buzz in conversations about Lambda.

    Wonder how long until social feeds like Gnip allow connecting AWS Lambda functions. Seems obvious.

    Line for AWS ECS session is insane.

    At the most in-demand re:Invent session of AWS Container Service. Packed!

    Packed conference ballroom at AWS re:Invent with rows of attendees facing a stage showing Amazon EC2 Container Service slides on two large screens.

    Every session at re:Invent touching on containers or Docker have been completely full with lines out the door.

    When did “fleet” overtake the term “farm”. Tertiary impact of all this container talk?

    The Container Service slides seem to have gone without review from the AWS brand managers. 🙂 Refreshing actually.

    “Server farm” v “server fleet”. Fleet sounds bigger. Better to be transportation system than farmers?

    Very cool elastic container service demo.

    AWS re:Invent - Day 1

    Seated for AWS re:Invent keynote!

    Large conference hall packed with attendees facing a stage and two large screens showing an AWS re:Invent presentation with a tweet about Amazon Cloud

    Andy Jassy “Cloud has become the new normal.” True for many!

    Large conference keynote slide reading Cloud Has Become the New Normal surrounded by white cloud illustrations on a dark background, with a seated crowd in silhouette below.

    “shower cycles”? New term to me.

    Amazon Aurora looks compelling.

    Impressed by first day keynote and all the work going on!

    At the re:Invent Security Keynote. AWS capabilities for security has radically changed and improved in recent years. AWS has 5 to 7 thousand instances running continual security tests against internal systems constantly.

    Lunch for 9,500.

    Large convention hall with rows of round tables covered in white linens and red banquet chairs, partially filled with attendees eating lunch.

    You will not miss Michael Ducy. Very sparkly!

    Smiling bearded man wearing a shiny silver metallic zip-up hoodie at a tech conference expo hall with Cisco and Imperva booths visible behind him.

    Nice demo of Datadog.

    Attending impressive session on Key Management in AWS with Amy Patton. Wishing Milinda Rambel Stone, our security leader for #TeamSPS, was here too!

    AWS re:Invent - Day 0

    Looking forward to connecting with the rest of #TeamSPS at #reinvent!

    68 °F and the cab driver had the heat on. Opened window. #vegas

    Hotel is pretty full so got upgraded to a suite. Nice digs.

    Nice — #TeamSPS product and platform offsite today! #InfiniteRetailPower

    👍 #TeamSPS assembling for product & platform event! Let’s do this!

    👍 #TeamSPS tech ops on the job from event.

    Product design for #TeamSPS being continually improved and redefined by Chuck Mallott!

    Love Chuck Mallott pursuit of bringing delight to B2B applications. Business users are people too! #TeamSPS

    👍 #TeamSPS workshop day kicking off! Education, training and continuous learning are key to successful teams! Six sessions ranging from Agile, TDD, Platform overview, AWS, Git Workflow and Ansible!

    If you are practicing agile methods, and haven’t revisited fundamentals in the last year, you’re probably doing it wrong.

    Nice — #TeamSPS workshops continue with Mike Bjerkness presenting SPS CodeFlow.

    Thank you to AWS Cloud for sending presenter to #TeamSPS workshop day!

    Final session of #TeamSPS workshop day hosted by David Federlein giving depth on Ansible. SPS is starting to use Ansible for continuous deployment.

    Rich Howard and Chris Bidler jamming on some code. #TeamSPS
