Do Prace Na Kole

During the month of May several members of the Prague Vistaprint office took part in “Do Prace Na Kole” - a cycle to work scheme.

This is a nationwide challenge that encourages people to cycle or run to work. People can compete with others from across the Czech Republic either as an individual or as a part of a team in categories such as frequency of travel by bike/foot, total distance covered, longest commute and others.

Jiri Adamek, one of our engineers, was the speaker of the #bigdata meet up organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship.

He gave an overview of the existing technologies on the market and demonstrated how using a few different data sets could help the police catch a hotel room #thief.

The event had the right mix of people interested in the topic. One #datascientist working in finance; one great #python guy, in town for the #pycon conference, and a #techblogger

The Warhol squad is working on Identity Service, a #microservice for authentication and authorization.

In our transition to a microservice based architecture, Identity Service is an important milestone.

Some members of the squad recently visited our Waltham office in US to discuss their architectural decisions and present the #zerodowntime infrastructure they built.

It's Architectural Kata time!

Vistaprint is a proud sponsor of the architectural kata events organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship community.

This time a real life problem will be presented by a real architect; PSC is partnering with Petr Ferschmann from Dativery to organize the event.

About Architecture Katas

Architectural Katas are intended as a small-group (3-5 people) exercise, usually as part of a larger group (4-10 groups are ideal), each of whom is doing the same kata. A Moderator keeps track of time and acts as the facilitator for the exercise.

Each group is given a project that needs development. The project team meets for a while, discovers requirements that aren't in the original proposal by asking questions of the "customer" (the Moderator), discusses technology options that could work, and sketches out a rough vision of what the solution could look like. Then, after they've discussed for a while, the project team must present their solution to the other project teams in the room, and answer challenges (in the form of hard-but-fair questions) from the other project teams. Once that challenging phase is done, the room votes on their results and the next project team take the floor.

Boston, New York, Prague

The Pulsar Squad in Prague recently started working on personalized recommendations that are displayed on Vistaprint web site. Up until now, this domain was owned by squads in our Waltham (Boston) office.

When they started working on the project, they scheduled meetings with the stakeholders and the developers who are familiar with the domain. They wanted to find the best way to have the knowledge transfer and start to build a roadmap.

After a couple of brainstorming sessions, it was clear that a visit to Waltham office would be the best step to take. This way they could meet all stakeholders face-to-face, schedule #mobprogramming sessions with the developers in the US and visit the famous #SamuelAdams brewery in Boston 😊
