Are you getting molded by others in a box feeling anxious and demotivated? What if you were the real cause instead of them? We all have blind spots caused by stories cooking in our minds, and often others can see them intimately, but they remain a mystery to us. Learn to break free of the box, fix the source of “people problems” to form strong relationships vital for individual and team success. 


You are moldable, yes? How to NOT leave all the molding to others to thrive !

"Universal law is for lackeys. Context is for kings." The best practices are the ones that make sense for you. Embracing DevOps culture is not a binary decision. This thinking often leads to inaction. Should we use distributed tracing? Should there be 100% unit test coverage? Should we use Infrastructure-As-Code? We should when the right time comes. In this session, we will try to explore what DevOps practices make sense for companies at different stages operating in different industries, DevOps maturity models, and the role of platform engineering in all of this. Vaidik will present the story of DevOps maturity over time at Blinkit (formerly Grofers) as well as their internal microservices maturity model deployed to help teams prioritize areas of focus that help improve DevOps practices across teams.

Is your product high-touch?
If delivering value to your customers heavily relies on customer success, sales, and support teams, the answer is YES.
In today's fierce reality, where human resource is one of the biggest bottlenecks of companies' growth, being High-Touch also means moving slow. 

I had the honor to speak at the ProductX conference and to talk about my favorite topic:
Moving from high-touch to low-touch products, and the huge impact product managers can drive by building the main growth engine for their companies.

We have been deploying applications on Kubernetes for over two years. We mostly followed a lift-and-shift approach while migrating to Kubernetes. We looked for everything that Ansible used to do for us and tried to replicate it in Kubernetes. At first, everything seemed to work. But over time we realized that a simple lift-and-shift approach can complicate things over time and perhaps adopting a more Kubernetes native approach from the beginning can be better to avoid rework later. We will talk about one such challenge in this blog post — our Consul KV based approach to configuration management over using ConfigMap.

We have been often asked if we write our own CRDs, operators and controllers. We also attempt to demonstrate how we use these patterns in this blog.

Every company today most likely has vendors in their technology landscape. There are ways and parameters that technology teams use to assess risk while selecting vendors. In this post, I am going to talk about one such risk to consider while selecting a (software or SaaS) vendor — the product strategy and roadmap.

Technology Vendor Risk — Check the Product Strategy and Roadmap

Almost two years back, we took the decision to leave behind our Ansible based configuration management setup for deploying applications on EC2 and move towards containerisation and orchestration of applications using Kubernetes. We have migrated most of our infrastructure to Kubernetes. It was a big undertaking and had its own challenges — from technical challenges of running a hybrid infrastructure until most of the migration is done to training the entire team on a completely new paradigm of operations to name a few.

In this post, we would like to reflect on our experience and share our learning from this journey with you, to help you make better decisions and increase your chances of success.

Even though we all agree about the importance of good documentation, there seems to be a widespread failure on our part to act on this belief and pay attention to how we document our software. Why does this happen?

Need for better documentation

I was working on a small project recently to learn working with the Docker tool chain and get an idea about how things work. I decided to build (yet another) open-source Docker image of etcd and publish it on Docker Hub. Like all open-source projects, building a working Docker image was pretty straight forward and didn’t really take much time. What took more time was the process to publish it nicely that someone can find it useful. And in that process, I learned a few things about working with Docker, Docker Hub and Travis and have a few questions unanswered. So I thought it might be worth documenting my findings and those unanswered questions to get feedback and improve my understanding.

Understanding Non Blocking I/O with Python

As an engineer working on any web stack, you may have heard about Blocking and Non-Blocking IO. You may as well have used any framework or library that supports Non-Blocking IO. After all, they are very useful as you don't want to block execution of other tasks while one task is waiting to complete a network call to another service (like HTTP call to an API or may be a TCP call to your database). Non- Blocking IO while doing tasks and not wait for IO. This also helps us handle a lot many connections than we possibly could with Blocking IO. Python supports Non-Blocking IO, but we always use some existing 3rd party library that hides all the gory details and makes it all look like black magic to the uninitiated. But there is nothing like black magic.

This presentation will be an introductory talk focused at explaining how Non-Blocking IO works, which is the basis of libraries like Gevent, Tornado and Twisted. We will learn about how Non-Blocking IO can be implemented using the most basic modules that form the base for the above mentioned libraries. Hopefully after this talk, Non-Blocking IO will not be an unsolved mystery for you anymore.

Microservices are not easy. We start with hopes of independent scaling, better resource utilisation, independent teams working on individual services. But if not carefully handled, we often end up (sometimes not even realising) with a complex distributed monolith that requires complex and error prone orchestration everyday, eventually slowing us down like an elephant.

This talk is about our journey of infrequent painful deployments of our distributed monolith to almost 10 deployments everyday, our CI/CD strategy that enabled us to get to that state and where we are now in our journey of rearchitecting our microservices.

Kubernetes has really gained mindshare with technology teams. There is a strong interest and desire in teams to migrate to Kubernetes and other new tech in the cloud-native ecosystem. However the journey to migrate to a cloud-native stack is complex and long and has a lot of hidden costs. A little over two years back, we took the decision to leave behind our Ansible based configuration management setup for deploying applications on EC2 and move towards containerisation and orchestration of applications using Kubernetes. We have migrated most of our infrastructure to Kubernetes. It was a big undertaking and had its own challenges — from technical challenges of running a hybrid infrastructure until most of the migration was done to organizational challenges such as training the entire team on a completely new paradigm of operations. This talk is our experience report of adopting Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies, the challenges that came our way, dealing with complexity of legacy, delivering a great developer platform and the way forward for us. By attending this session, attendees will get insights into: - understand possible reasons to migrate to Kubernetes and how to decide if they should migrate or not (with possible alternatives) - practical challenges of migrating to Kubernetes - the factors to consider before they decide to adopt Kubernetes - how to prepare themselves and their teams before on the journey (culturally and functionally). This talk is not to deter you, but merely to help you understand your reasons clearer before you make the decision.

At the end of 2018, I told you the story of one of the BlaBlaCar Foundation teams' greatest success, "100% Containers Powered Carpooling". That conference was about our migration into containers, and described a paradigm that became key for us: every component of the infrastructure can be restarted at any time without impacting the applications using them.

In 2019 a new chapter had to be written, BlaBlaCar signed a contract with Google Cloud Platform and like many companies, we were starting our journey to the cloud… Eight OpenSource database softwares, one hundred clusters, and a new infrastructure with new components, patterns, and tons of possibilities.

Building the team, finding the right focus, choosing tradeoffs, making or buying systems, changing our communication, proposing migration paths… With the Engineer Manager's hat, I will share with you what ingredients we had to look for to turn this massive project into a success story.

Hacking Your Product Leadership Career in 2022

The software product management discipline that just got developed over a decade ago has almost reached its peak now. There are millions of product management professionals in the industry today. While some of the professionals have formal management education, significant numbers are trained through experiences or specialized curriculums developed for corporations. When there are so many new practitioners in a field, there is a need to standardize and coordinate the process. There will be debates on what constitutes part of the activities of such practitioners and what does not. Hence, it is important to look at software product management from the perspective of a management researcher and relate the product management to the existing management literature. Secondly, when a consulting practice of product management is to be proposed for generic Software Product Management activities of an organization, there is a need to present a domain agnostic consulting practice that is understood by the management professionals. This paper attempts to answer some of these issues and also presents a framework that can help explain the activities of product management aligning to general management principles.

There will be two opinions when I talk about people management with product management functions. One will say when did product managers bother about people issues. Are they not superhumans to resolve all people management issues? The second will say, yes! It is a critical function, but have we not got a director who has extensive people management experience to address all these scenarios. Unfortunately, the answer is neither or somewhere in between or ignored and pushed under the carpet. As the numbers are in percentage terms so low, it will not affect the attrition numbers. Hence, organizations ignore it. Here is a study by McKinsey on the Software Product Management function and its talent management. 

https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/the-product-management-talent-dilemma

I leave people to review the study for themselves but let me talk about how much organizations understand product managers working with them.


PM Process: The People

If you are associated with the software industry, you must have experienced a cult following the agile process framework. So much so, organizations ramped up product management hiring and started designating them as product owners for various product development groups. I will not delve into the process in detail but would rather talk about the rationale of the agile framework and what does it achieve. Two decades back, agile programming was not quite popular. There were experimental pair programming or extreme programming efforts by some pioneers yet, that was not mainstream and looked down upon by some naysayers. About a decade and a half back, it suddenly started to see the light and pretty much became mainstream a decade ago. Excellent tracking tools for scrum and extreme programming were available. These gave the larger organizations the confidence to adopt the methodologies.

PM Process: Agile Framework

Compliance is an act of adherence to rules, regulations, environments, or even laws. When is product management so much involved in meeting compliance needs? Is it not the purview of the legal or engineering departments in the organization that drive the compliance needs? I guess most of you must be wondering the same. However, I have experienced compliance is a need that better be analyzed by product managers ahead of time before other parts of the organization invest any energy on it. In some businesses, compliance is the prime driver to the business and cannot be discounted. So your fundamental need to be in the market is decided by your ability to meet the compliance requirements.

PM Process: Compliance

Most organizations are innovative. They try to do things differently from their competition. Have something in them that is core to their DNA and different from others in the same business. But, how you express that to the world. A few years back, I read marketing collateral of two leading giants of the domain; call them A and B. A was relatively new in business and claimed B is old and not nimble as they were and A was more innovative. B had put up a marketing campaign around the same time showing a portfolio of patents they carried to showdown A in terms of their innovation capabilities. Who was telling the truth? Why is it so important for such high-profile organizations to claim one-upmanship on patent numbers?

PM Process: IPR

A few months back a student from a premium institute in India was put under the scanner of laws as he violated the laws of the Indian Railways in providing railway ticket booking services. Similarly, a much-awaited court case between Oracle and Google was reviewed by the US Supreme Court. What are the similarities in these cases? At a surface level, there is very little actually, but if you delve deeper they are kind of similar. Let’s take the first case, many sites provide railway booking services in coordination with IRCTC why was this student singled out. Similarly, many organizations build collaborative solutions but why should Google and Oracle get into a legal wrangle?

PM Process: Contracts

Many product managers focus on finding the best interface for easier user engagement with the product. While some insist on using design tools, mock-up tools, prototyping interactions, some insist such must be left to the UX designers to provide the best possible proposals. I will like to debate if we actually captured the requirement at the right level. A lot of that is to do with how you described your problem in the first place. If you are excited about writing user stories right, read on and let me know what you feel.

PM Process: User Interface

The marketing mix is composed of product, price, promotion, and place (Philip Kotler). While the product is clearly a Product Management function, most PMs get tired of discussing pricing. And more so discussing discounting, bundling, unbundling, creating suites, etc, special pricing options — looks familiar? No PM is immune to such demands in any organization. Many call these pricing strategies, for some they are outright winning formulas. Practically, there are only three components when deciding to price. They are absolutely driven by 3 principles stated in the book Business Market Management, by Anderson, Narus, Narayandas, and Seshadri. Lucky to be taught the principles by Prof Seshadri himself a decade and a half back. Why talk about such basic concepts in today’s market? Because the fundamentals are so significant that even today in B2B marketing they are the easiest benchmarks to compare against. Use them, you will not be disappointed.

PM Process: Pricing

To every organization or service provider, the claim is the customer comes first. But, I am writing the customer part in the Product Management process in the end. One primary reason is to ensure, your house is in order before you invite your guests. Some of you may agree, and some disagree. Feel free to provide your opinions. After all, discussions only build a better understanding of systems and processes.

PM Process: The Customer

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.

The above is the perfect description of the product called The One Ring of the JRR Tolkien fame. It is an almost perfect definition of a product; it describes the exact boundary and limitations of the product, yet not a product vision. There is no aspiration, no process to reach the goal, and no mention of competition.

PM Process: Product Vision

Whenever there is a discussion on strategy, there is always confusion; are we discussing organization strategy or competitive advantages? Invariably there is a lack of clarity. Organizations are perpetual entities; they will remain in existence for generations to come. While products have a limited life cycle, there is inception, growth, and eventual death. Such misunderstandings lead to discussions on strategy, delving into too much implementation or tactical details. I feel a qualitative outline is always well understood and appreciated over a detailed analysis paralysis for an organization. A larger organization will have full-time corporate strategy groups or strategic consultants addressing detail analytic needs. In such cases, a product manager may have to defend her product-related decisions or provide alternate viewpoints to the strategic decision-makers. Understanding some of the strategic management tools and their qualitative nuances is helpful for product managers. You may not need detailed quantitative assessments as a strategic consultant may use.

PM Process: Strategy

A few months back, when I started writing these articles on product management, some of you tried to find out what made me write those articles. Someone asked me if the concepts of product management are domain-specific. Or they are learnings that one can apply to other domains. Is the Product Management discipline a new paradigm, which is different from traditional management principles? While trying to mull over some of these thoughts, I felt at least the PM literature I have read or the activities I have exposure to in my 16 years of PM experience: can be broadly classified into ten broad processes. Aggregated, I will like to call them The Practice of Product Management. The practice is not entirely different. It’s centered around the Industry Analysis framework by Michael Porter. Though proposed in the 80s, the framework remains one of the most promising, researched, and often challenged frameworks. A generation of managers and MBA graduates grew up with it. The strategy consultants still vouch for it and use the tools as part of their analysis. Secondly, I intend to bring PM discipline within the purview of other management processes and have a reasonable understanding for all the managers to understand what PMs are supposed to do.
