Sticking to this year’s speaker theme of inspiration, we wanted to share our highlights for anyone who wasn’t able to attend or who just wanted another taste of the magic.

We are excited to announce the move of our documentation to a new platform - GitBook, and a new residence on the internet at https://docs.lagoon.sh! For the past several years, we’ve hosted our documentation on ReadtheDocs, which has been solid and worked well, but we wanted an upgrade. Enter GitBook.

This year it's more important than ever to participate. So, we’re extra amped to sponsor, attend, and speak at DrupalCon Europe 2020’s virtual conference. 

This open-source DevOps roundtable discussion centered around Lando and Lagoon’s shared aim to be as accessible and easy to use as possible, plus the importance of flexible but solid development workflows, and how the cloud will influence developer workflows in the future.

Career Year Academy is a skills-based education provider serving the Canadian and French markets. Their mission is to bridge the gap between high school, university, and the workplace. Launched in 2018, CYA has been hosting with amazee.io from the beginning. The choice to work with amazee.io was an easy one for their technical leadership, who had had prior experience with us back when we were just getting started. CYA had evaluated other hosting providers but ultimately chose amazee.io for our ability to handle their DevOps needs, which allowed them to focus on building and maintaining their product.

Join amazee.io and Tandem for a roundtable discussion about DevOps best-practices and insights, as well as a demo of the new integration between Lando and Lagoon.

We’re super excited this year for their first virtual DrupalGov event and to learn about and help grow all things government and Drupal.

amazee.io partnered with Catalyst Cloud for a candid discussion and Q&A with providers across managed services, infrastructure, and application development for examples, strategies, and learnings on successfully migrating government websites to open source and cloud technologies.

amazee.io supports 17 different Smartsheet developers across multiple time zones who deploy to Lagoon daily. When questions arise – big or small – amazee.io is there to respond directly in Smartsheet’s private Slack channel – usually within minutes.
