We'll hear from **Son y Playstation** about how they're building an Open Source project to run i n Kubernetes\, which ensures Playstation consistently and seamlessly provi de great shared-world game experiences.\n\nElectric Vehicle organisation * *ONTO** will be joining us to give an insight into what lessons can be gai ned from working backwards from strong Product Vision\, and what can be bo rrowed from successful Product teams when building Platform teams.\n\nFina lly\, our hosts **Accurx** will also be taking the stage to give us a full insight in trying to grow an engineering function within the healthcare i ndustry. The trials and tribulations of working closely with doctors and p ractitioners within the NHS to develop ground breaking solutions to improv e patient care.\n\nThe usual format will be followed\, with 3 x 20 minute talks\, followed by refreshments (from Accurx's inhouse chefs!) and the us ual continued discussion.\n\nWe have a capped limit on capacity so please RSVP asap.\n\n**[Joseph Irving](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-irving- b04290108/)** @ **[Sony Playstation](https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/)** \n\n**Playstation and Kubernetes: How to solve a problem like real-time**\ n\nKubernetes can be a natural fit for hosting things like websites and AP Is - but hosting something that requires sets of long-lived stable connect ions may not work as well in the shifting sands that is a Kubernetes clust er. Realtime video game servers are one of these things\, as a group of fr iends would not enjoy being booted out of their 30 minute match because th e pod they were playing in got autoscaled. At PlayStation we're trying to use an open source project\, Agones\, to run game servers in a Kubernetes cluster. We hope to get all the benefits that come with the Kubernetes eco system\, without sacrificing the ability to provide great shared-world gam e experiences.\n\nJoseph is a Senior DevOps Engineer working in Playstatio n's centralised technology team. He’s been using Kubernetes to run produ ction workloads for over 6 years and he enjoys trying to solve company wid e problems in a simple but flexible way\, building common tools and platfo rms to simplify and speed up development.\n\n**[Simone Casciaroli](https:/ /www.linkedin.com/in/simonecasciaroli/) @ [ONTO](https://on.to/)**\n\n**Ar e we building Cloud Platforms using the right metrics?**\n\nDespite the ex citement in the industry for Cloud Platforms\, the truth is that they are often created without a strong Product vision\, and they end up being eith er not fully adopted or overwhelmed with customer support tickets. I will share some key learnings that I borrowed from Product Management and have helped me set up successful Platform teams.\n\nSimone is a technical leade r who is specialised in enabling teams to work autonomously and continuall y and incrementally ship value to users.\nHe has spent the last two decade s leading technical teams across startups and scale-ups with roles at the intersection of delivery\, product\, and technology (Now TV\, Babylon Heal th\, SecureSafe).\n\nSimone has co-founded two health and personal develop ment startups and recently joined the Electric Vehicles revolution as Head of Engineering at Onto.\n\n**[Bharat Reddy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/r eddyalready/)** @ **[Accurx](https://www.accurx.com)**\n\n**Devopsing it: a retrospective on doubling our engineering team and living to tell the De vOps tale**\n\nSeeding a culture of devops from day 1 is really difficult but absolutely essential. Come along on a tour of some of the practices th at helped and hindered our pace and reliability in meeting doctor and pati ent needs for the NHS\, such as shortening feedback loops for quicker prod uct validation\, learning from incidents\, and finding the balance in givi ng engineers the right amount of privilege to encourage good practice.\n\n Bharat Reddy has 15 years of software development and deployment experienc e in both the finance and healthcare sectors. He’s currently a tech lead in the Platform Team at Accurx\, where he’s building out the cloud infr astructure and development platform to enable the engineering organisation to rapidly build out the next generation of healthcare communication. He is absolutely hustling you when he claims he’s not actually that good at pool.\n\nAll the best\,\nThe DOXLON Team\n[@thedoxhub](https://twitter.co m/thedoxhub)\n\nOur Sponsors..\n\n[LinuxRecruit](https://www.linuxrecruit. co.uk/)\nLinuxRecruit introduce great people to equally great companies ac ross Europe and the US.
