Meetup of the DevOps-Hamburg group (https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/DevOps-Hamburg).

Hi folks,
let's have the first DevOps Meetup in 2017!

"SmokeTests - Why you should try to burn down your production environment" by Sebastian Thoß, Chapter Lead Backend at kartenmacherei

"Today it's crystal clear why we need unit tests. Even integration and acceptance tests are quite common but who is making sure that your pages are working in production environment? I'd like to show in detail how smoke tests will help achieving this goal and why you should try to burn down your production server."

This is a hands-on talk about how we use excessive smoke tests in our continuous deployment to make sure a freshly rolled-out release can actually go live. Of course we would be happy to see other talks!
