When it comes to building and running software, some degree of toil is to be expected.

But when your most creative minds and critical thinkers lose increasing chunks of their time to incident response, remediation and reactive work, innovation stalls.

Hear from engineers who have successfully regained the balance between toil and boosting the productivity of engineering teams. We’ll share strategies for slashing time-consuming toil without compromising safety.

Key takeaways:

  • Where unplanned engineering toil is coming from and why it keeps increasing
  • How engineering teams reduce incident response and reactive toil
  • How to embed security into your workflow without compromising on speed
