My team and I kept jobber.com working through thick and thin, while constantly searching for ways to ensure our infrastructure was reliable for the long term. We supported numerous novel for us technologies, including Apache AirFlow, Amazon Aurora databases, and DataDog integration. I specifically led our efforts to shore up and then replace our RabbitMQ clusters, moving it from a third party provider to AWS with minimal observed downtime. I also used S3 Batch Operations to re-encode a very large amount of S3 data, and implemented instrumentation for our tooling. I primarily worked in Ruby, Terraform, and Bourne shell.
