OREANDA-NEWS. November 09, 2015. Schibsted Media Group is proud to be Gold sponsor of Dockercon EU 2015 on 15 - 17 November in Barcelona. Schibsted is a global media and tech organisation working on world-scale problems. Employing more than a thousand engineers, the company develops and deploys applications to serve more than 200 million customers. To enable the company to do that, the classifieds and media markets targeted by Schibsted require fast-paced, hands-on product and engineering innovation. This creates unique engineering challenges that only the best technology is able to tackle effectively.

Container Technology Revolution

The container technology revolution, spearheaded by Docker Inc. and its suite of tools, enable new ways of thinking about applications and services, which drive technical organisations to re-evaluate their ways of approaching development and operations, to best take advantage of the container technology. Schibsted engineers are really eager to employ container tools and to shape the trends of this revolution.

As Rian Liebenberg, CTO of Schibsted Products and Technology puts it:

“Given the rapid rate of change in Technology trends and the opportunities this provides for content creation, publication and engagement across the world, it’s in Schibsted’s interest to remain at the forefront of technology trends, and container technologies are a great new way of creating and deploying world-class applications at scale. We are excited by the potential that containerization offers, and actively contribute in the community to evolving and improving the technology with the view to utilizing this in our platforms and products”.
