Liz Fong-Jones, Honeycomb
SREs working on build and engineers working in DevOps are likely familiar with container orchestration and build systems using Docker, but may not necessarily be familiar with some of the latest developments in build tooling. Docker Bake is a powerful new toolchain embedded into the Docker buildkit daemon that allows for decomposing Docker images into reusable steps and parallel building of multiple Docker images from the same sources at once. This allows for faster builds, with better provenance. Learn how Honeycomb slashed our build times in half using Docker Bake.
Liz is a developer advocate, labor and ethics organizer, and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with over two decades of experience. She is currently the Field CTO at Honeycomb, and previously was an SRE working on products ranging from the Google Cloud Load Balancer to Google Flights.
