Driving Innovation in Established Companies

This week we hosted a Meet Up for Product Owners. Our Senior PO Nick was leading an open discussion about strategies to identify opportunities, ideate solutions, evangelize plans, and iterate on them with customers. We shared Vistaprint’s innovation successes and failures at an international billion dollar scale through stories of reinventing existing software with other product leaders from different tech companies.
What would be the next topic?

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.

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 😊

An Alternative Paradigm to OOP?

On September 24th, our friends at #PragueSoftwareCraftsmanship will host a talk on Functional Programming.

For more than 25 years OOP has been considered as the dominant paradigm for describing real world objects and processes. On the other hand Functional Programming was treated as a paradigm for solving scientific and mathematical problems.

In this session, Mikhail Smal is going to explore the weaknesses of OOP and the strengths of FP.

Vistaprint Prague sponsors the event. As always beers and networking will follow.

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!

The next Turing to solve the enigma!

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)
