Welcome to the "Hacking the Engineering Process" meetup! Data infrastructure startup Hightouch invented the category of "Reverse ETL", and grew to hundreds of customers such as Spotify and Blizzard in under two years. What's it like working on the tech behind a company experiencing such fast growth? Join us as we go through the entire technical journey, from the early MVP to a hardened system processing billions of data points a day. We'll talk about everything from systems architecture to engineering culture and hiring.

Join Courier pigeons Nica and Shreya as we talk to Hightouch team members Mary and Andrew about how to sync customer data with Hightouch. The Courier and Hightouch integration means that you can send notifications using just a user ID and rely on the integration to find all the contact info you need for your users.

This week we're talking with Chris Gradwohl from the Courier engineering team, talking about how Courier does auto-magical messaging automations using #Serverless.

Welcome to the "Hacking the Engineering Process" meetup! You've probably heard him speak while hosting his podcast Software Engineering Daily. He recently wrote a book, Move Fast: How Facebook Builds Software where he shares his many lessons learned during his time there. This meetup will be an open discussion for software engineers and tech enthusiasts to share their thoughts on the leading topic, pose thought-provoking questions for each other, and learn more about how various engineering teams measure developer productivity amongst themselves.

Troy Goode CEO of Courier, an API and UI for product notification infrastructure gives a talk on what one needs to think about when building a system like this, the complexities of it all, and the cost. Courier is the fastest way to design your notifications once and deliver them through push notifications, direct messages like Slack and Facebook Messenger, SMS, and email–with a single Courier API rather than having to integrate each provider API separately.

Trying something a little different this week, we're gathering together tech workers who have gotten help for mental health, and we're talking about how it's affected our careers.

Walkthrough the onboarding process to send your very first notification with the Courier API. This example demonstrates a send call with the Gmail API.
