M A D H U S U D A N S H E K A R | P R I N C I PA L E V A N G E L I S T


Why do you care?


To PRODUCTION!


I t i s rather impress ive…

50M Deployments in a year

10’s of thousands of builders.

That comes to more than a software deployment every second


Much of what enables Amazon i s in our tool ing , and we’re re leas ing most of i t to AWS customers .

You can bu i ld a developer exper ience SUPERIOR to Amazon.


The rest of the ta lk :

1. Technical and cultural landscape at Amazon2. Tooling Philosophy3. Code review, build, and the pre-mortem4. Pipelining and deployment5. Managing infrastructure, and auditing6. Final thoughts + Q&A


Our Growth F ly Wheel

Let ’s Meet Our Hero….

hello world.


My one s l ide on the loca l development process

Yeee Ha

• Agile… ish?• “The Process” will ensure you

don’t cut corners.• Iterate as quickly as you can.• Your host is a service.





Building Blocks

Key Ca l louts

Fund Winners

Marketplace


Our Antagonist

It’s me, THE PROCESS.


A change i s born.

• Replication• Access Control• Code Search on Commit• AWS CodeCommit gives you a lot

of these same advantages (BTW)





CodeReview and Pu l l Request

Does this thing make me

look fat?

• The last step before “the process” takes over.

• Teams can block commits to mainline via a variety of rules.

• You find very little branching strategy at Amazon.


The Bu i ld

Global Dependency Closure

Unit Testing

Static Analysis

Bad Software Blocked


Beg in with the Pre-Mortem





Part 2 – The Journey

I Made it!


Aud i t ing and Reduc ing R isk

My job is never done.





• Amazon standardizes a ton of the software development process via common platforms.

• We encourage an open internal marketplace for extending that platform, and fund winners.

• We ship so much because we continually ship everything to production, not because we go crazy fast.

• Amazon is doubling down on it’s AWS tools to run it’s own business.
