I was at Voxxed Days Amsterdam to talk about pipeline patterns and anti-patterns. The conference venue is a cinema, and it was a different experience to present in front of a screen that is 8 meters tall. I kind of liked it. It was definitely a good experience to sit in a comfortable lounge chair to watch the other presentations.
Pipeline Patterns & Anti-patterns
- Wed Apr 01 2026 17:20–18:05 Zaal 11
Automated pipelines have become an integral part of our daily workflow. As the pipelines become increasingly important, the demands placed on them rise proportionally.
As with many things, a great pipeline operates seamlessly in the background, while a poorly designed one becomes a constant irritation.
Are you publishing your artefacts every time the pipeline runs, running all steps in a sequence, or installing all the tools every time a new build starts?
In this talk, I will address these antipatterns and more I have encountered during my work as a consultant, explaining why I consider them such and what you should do instead.
After listening to this talk, you will better understand what makes a pipeline great and concrete things you can do to improve it and shorten the feedback loop.
