Mark your calendars! On Thursday, September 11, and Friday, September 12, WATA Factory will come together for our next All Hands.
This time, we’ll dive deep into the world of Kubernetes, continuing the exciting journey we began in our recent Ibérica Labs. Expect two days full of learning, hands-on experimentation, and plenty of moments to connect, share, and grow stronger as a team.
Day 1 – A full-day Kubernetes deep dive
Thursday kicks off with a warm welcome and a hearty breakfast — the perfect way to fuel up before a day packed with insights and discovery.
Our guest expert is Laura Morillo-Velarde, currently Platform Engineer at Seedtag. With more than 12 years of experience building scalable and reliable systems, Laura brings deep expertise in areas such as microservices, Kubernetes, web development, testing, and agile methodologies.
She’s also a Google Developer Expert in Cloud and a Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect, recognitions that highlight her solid track record and dedication to the craft.
Throughout the workshop, Laura will share practical strategies for designing scalable infrastructures for Rails, Node, Python, and multi-stack applications. The day will combine hands-on practice with strategic insights, helping us not only understand how to deploy and orchestrate applications in Kubernetes, but also why each decision matters.
To keep our energy high, we’ll break for coffee and reflections, and around midday we’ll come together for a team-building lunch, enjoying good food while reconnecting with colleagues.
By the end of the day, everyone will leave with actionable knowledge and practical skills ready to be applied to real projects.
Day 2 – Hands-on practice and collective growth
Friday starts with a classic Andalusian breakfast, fueling us for a day fully dedicated to practice and collaboration.
The focus will be on applying Thursday’s concepts: everyone will work at their own pace, but the real value will come from the team dynamic — troubleshooting together, sharing knowledge, and lifting each other up.
This collaborative approach turns individual progress into collective growth, reinforcing the bonds that make WATA Factory unique.
By the end of these two days, we’ll not only have leveled up our technical skills, but also strengthened the connections that drive our culture forward. This All Hands will leave us better prepared, more confident, and more united than ever.
Building on Ibérica Labs
In our last Ibérica Labs, we explored how Kubernetes and Bitbucket could enhance our CI/CD pipelines. Together, we deployed Bitbucket Runners in a Kubernetes cluster, automated integrations, orchestrated components, and experimented with Helm to manage preconfigured packages.
This All Hands picks up exactly where we left off — taking what we learned and pushing it further. It’s an opportunity to tackle more complex challenges, refine our workflows, and keep building on the spirit of exploration and collaboration that defines WATA Factory.
