How much pizza and Coca Cola does it take to retir How much pizza and Coca Cola does it take to retire a service?

In Vistaprint we have biweekly sessions where a team presents to whole developers in the company a deep dive into their work.

Last week, Gravity Squad, which is a part of our Data Tribe presented how they retired a service and deployed a new version only in one day.

Prior to this, we had two of our engineers travel to Boston and made a deep dive into their work in recommendations and design transformation.

Ps: The picture is the squad’s logo

Update Conference, which is one of the biggest .NET conferences in Europe, is currently taking place at the Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague.

The event hosts 47 conferences, workshops, Ask-The-Experts sessions, great food,  Czech beer and lots of networking opportunities.

Vistaprint is one of the partners of the event. This year, we brought to our booth 6 Hanayama puzzles and obviously it was a lot of fun for the attendees. The most difficult puzzle, called Enigma, had a big prize on it but as of 2nd day no one could solve it yet (without the help of #youtube). Regarding the conferences, here are some of the favorite picks from our developers:

A lap around Azure Machine Learning services (Peter Drougge)

Internals of Exceptions (Adam Furmanek)

Correcting Common Mistakes in Asynchronous .NET Code (Brandon Minnick)

Mapping DDD Domain Models with EF Core 2.1 (Julie Lerman)

Boston, New York, Prague The Pulsar Squad in Prag 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 😊

Welcome 2019 Did you know that, the original Blad Welcome 2019

Did you know that, the original Blade Runner movie predicted what life would be like on Earth in 2019?

According to it, we should have replicants (robots who look like humans) and travel in flying cars. 🚀

Although we don’t fly to work yet, 2018 was an immensely successful year for Vistaprint Prague Technology Center.

In 2018 we sponsored 8 events, reaching over 500 developers in Prague. Our office is now home to 7 development teams, working on a variety of projects ranging from recommendations on our site to security and authorization.

We wish everyone a happy new year!
