Teads is organizing a DevOps Summer School where you will learn the core principles of modern infrastructure, automation, and cloud-native development while building and deploying a production-ready system from scratch. Throughout the program, we will guide you through designing system architecture, setting up development and deployment environments, and implementing CI/CD pipelines.

 

You will start by creating a simple service and running it locally, then gradually evolve it by containerizing the application using Docker and orchestrating it with tools like Kubernetes. You will learn how to connect services to databases and external APIs, implement logging and monitoring, and collect meaningful metrics to ensure system reliability and performance.

 

A strong focus will be placed on automation and infrastructure as code. You will gain hands-on experience with tools used in the industry to provision and manage infrastructure, as well as to automate testing, integration, and deployment processes. You will also explore concepts like scalability, fault tolerance, and observability.

By the end of the summer school, you will deploy your application to a public cloud environment and understand how to maintain and operate it in a real-world setting.

The summer school will consist of engaging talks delivered by our expert engineers, each followed by hands-on workshops where you will apply your knowledge in practice. It's a great opportunity if you want to understand what it means to work in DevOps and how modern systems are built, deployed, and maintained in the industry.

 

The whole event will happen on site in our new offices on Dunajska cesta 5 and will be completely FREE of charge (including lunch, coffee, snacks and all activities). However, we do expect your full commitment during the one-week program – if you apply, get accepted, and don't attend, you are taking a spot from someone else who would have loved to participate!

 

Who will benefit most from attending the Software Engineering Summer School?

Eager individuals with basic programming knowledge and an interest in systems, infrastructure, and automation. Since the program is highly practical, some familiarity with software development and computing concepts is recommended. For example:

• Final-year undergraduate, master's, or PhD students in Computer Science or related fields
• Recent graduates from Computer Science or similar programs
• Professionals in software engineering or IT roles who want to transition into or deepen their knowledge of DevOps practices

 

How much experience do you need?

You will learn a lot about DevOps practices during the summer school, but it's helpful if you are already familiar with basic programming concepts, APIs, and how applications are structured. A good rule of thumb is: if you've ever built or worked with a simple application or have some academic or professional experience in computing, you'll be able to follow along and benefit fully.

 

What is the plan?

A week of insightful talks on DevOps topics such as containerization, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and automation—delivered by experienced engineers—followed by hands-on workshops where you will implement what you've learned. By the end, you will have a fully deployed application running in a cloud environment. All of this will be complemented by fun activities and great food.
