Anuj HydrabadiWhy Speed is the Only Moat: Acceldata’s Approach to Developer Velocity
Join Acceldata's engineering leadership as they reveal how speed became their ultimate competitive advantage. This isn't just another productivity talk — it's a deep dive into the systematic approach that transformed their development organization into a velocity powerhouse. In enterprise software delivery, speed has long been treated as a tradeoff, something to be sacrificed in favor of reliability, security, and stability. Acceldata, serving data observability needs for global enterprises, takes the opposite view: sustained speed is the only durable competitive moat. Key insights you'll gain: - **Friction assessment:** A practical method to find where developers lose time (local setup, environment drift, CI/CD bottlenecks) - **Platform blueprint:** How an internal platform standardizes the happy path for development - **Service templates:** Consistent starting points for new projects - **Golden pipelines:** Battle-tested CI/CD with sensible defaults - **Ephemeral environments:** On‑demand environments for realistic validation - **Progressive delivery:** Safe rollout patterns that reduce shipping anxiety - **Automated rollbacks:** Safety nets that make it cheap to change direction Measurement strategy: - **Core metrics:** Cycle time, change failure rate, lead time, deployment frequency - **Keep it practical:** Focus on a few signals that reflect real work, not hundreds of vanity metrics Cultural transformation: - **Autonomy with alignment:** Empower teams while keeping standards - **Lifecycle automation:** Automate the unglamorous but critical parts - **Paved‑road workflows:** Standardized paths with room to experiment - **Development observability:** Visibility across the entire delivery flow - **Feedback loops:** Continuous, high‑quality feedback to drive improvement Real‑world results: - **Shipping velocity:** 30 major releases in six months - **Service creation:** New services in minutes, not days - **Onboarding:** Hours instead of weeks - **Deployments:** Higher frequency with greater reliability - **Process visibility:** Clear insight into bottlenecks and waste This session provides a complete roadmap—from friction mapping to platform capabilities to the metrics that prove impact. It’s designed for engineering leaders, platform engineers, DevOps teams, and team leads looking to scale velocity without sacrificing reliability.
