About SeneJUG Town
SeneJUG Town is here for you. To begin with, you can customize your homepage. Each member has a blog. When you post a blog, it is also displayed on the Codetown homepage! You can create Discussions, add Comments, upload multimedia, join other Groups and use the powerful Invite feature to ask your friends and colleagues to join.
Since we're the West African JUG, a large group geographically, there are many distant members you can stay in touch with through this Group. Look for members in France and Morocco, too!
We look forward to seeing the miles between us grow smaller, virtually. All the best!

By Leela KumiliHow a Culture of Data-Driven Conversations Can Support Platform Engineering
To provide SRE as a service, a team built a center of excellence, introducing Federated SREs and roles like production manager and technical tribe lead. They created a culture of data-driven conversations where SLOs and SLAs were democratised. Surviving growing cognitive load meant continuously simplifying architecture and embedding sovereignty and resilience into platform design decisions.

AWS disclosed that Resilient Network Graphs, a flat network architecture based on quasi-random graph theory, is now the default for most new data center builds. The design replaces fat-tree hierarchies with direct ToR-to-ToR mesh connections using passive optical ShuffleBoxes, cutting routers by 69%, boosting throughput by 33%, and reducing network power consumption by 40%.
