Terraform Practices to Enable Infrastructure Scaling
Hila Fish

Terraform is a GREAT tool, but like a lot of other things in life, it has its pitfalls and bad practices.

Since you are working with Terraform, you probably went through its documentation, which can tell you what resources can be used - BUT do you always have a clear path towards using these resources? How should modules be constructed? How should you structure your Terraform code in general?

In this talk, I’ll cover the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to Terraform. I will show practices for working with Terraform that were put together with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, so you’ll ultimately have a go-to approach and a paved way for working with Terraform, whether it’s an existing codebase or a new functionality altogether, and also hopefully make you think about the big picture and utilize Terraform in a broader context rather than just an “infrastructure as code" tool.

Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?
Hila Fish

Gathering pieces of information for a task or a project is a wasteful act and could result in duplicated work done by different people.
Onboarding, your ability to maintain code or infrastructure and systems handover - Documentation plays a crucial part in all these processes.

In this talk, I’ll show you a structured way to write technical docs, without being a technical writer - So you will deliver highly valuable information to your audience, to your best ability.
I’ll explain why should you care about these docs, how do they serve your best interests (Yes, there’s more than one!) and what a wide impact it could make on employees and even on your entire organization.
