Winning as the Home Team will be presented to both conference audiences, on October 12, 5:00 pm CEST. This talk will break down the processes of building software together as a team, and show how things change when you are no longer sharing the same room. Attendees will learn about the practices and tools one company uses to successfully run remote-only software projects, with developers that work from home. From leadership styles, to meeting schedules, to coding practices, Michael will get into specifics about what it takes to be a winning team when everyone is working from home. In addition, there will be a comparison between working from home in 2019 and 2020.

Hosted, Not Served will be presented only to the Serverless Conference Audience, on October 13, at 4:45pm CEST. He will discuss how your static website, SPA, or PWA can be deployed on low cost, world-class hosting using just a single command, without the need for servers. This talk will dive deep into the features of Firebase Hosting, using concrete examples derived from real-world experience. You will learn about deploy and rollback, multi-site deploys, custom domains, security and cache management, and custom URL management.

In addition to his two talks, Michael is on the Advisory Board of the Serverless conference.
