The 29th August saw the return of the DevOps Exchange London, this time hosted by our friends at Financial Services company, Zopa at their headquarters in London Bridge. With just shy of 150 attendees registered, this event was hugely popular amongst our growing online community and attracted many DevOps enthusiasts from London and further afar. For this event, we were joined by 3 established companies; British multinational automobile manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, Software Development company Syntasso and finally web-based services marketplace, Bark. All videos, recordings and associated links from the event can be viewed below.
