"Have you ever spotted something off with your cloud setup that wasn't in the plan? You've just met "configuration drift" - it's what happens when the real state of your infrastructure doesn't match up with what your configurations say. Manual fixes, other tools stepping in, or just random glitches can cause this mismatch. Here's where it gets tricky: this configuration drift can start a cycle of worry. You tweak a setting, but then, your infrastructure code doesn't match, and doubts creep in about making more changes. It's like being stuck in quicksand - the more you struggle to fix things manually, the deeper you sink. So, how do you break free? Think disposability and reproducibility. Make your systems so they can be set up, duplicated, and packed away again as smoothly as packing a suitcase. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools are our escape tools. They keep everything aligned - what we have is what we expect, with no surprises. The goal? To regain that confidence in your deployments, knowing your IaC has your back. Have you ever felt stuck in the automation fear spiral? How did you rebuild your confidence in your systems? For anyone fighting these issues, I encourage you to read "Infrastructure as Code, 3rd Edition" by Kief Morris. It’s a deep dive into these topics and more." Donatas Navidonskis on LinkedIn:
At #Boozt, we're extremely proud of our world-class logistics and fulfilment centre. So when Handelskammaren / Sydsvenska Industri- och Handelskammaren asked if they could invite fellow members on a visit, we said yes right away. From our facility in Ängelholm, a central location in the Nordics with easy access to the entire region, we can fulfil all orders thanks to advanced logistics technology and an amazing workforce. Our commitment to local operations ensures the best and most effective delivery for our customers. It also allows us to be a strong presence in the community, where we're proud to be one of the area's biggest employers. The event had been fully signed up and CEO and co-founder Hermann Haraldsson and CSCO Ronni Funch Olsen provided insights into the business before CTO of Boozt Fulfilment & Logistics, Tobias Sjölin, and Fulfilment Director, Per Hansson, acted as guides around the warehouse.
At Boozt, we're committed to leading the way in responsible e-commerce. Our 'Care-For strategy' is the roadmap for achieving this, and we're proud to share highlights from our recently released Sustainability Report 2023.

"When the company has a hybrid working model, I often get some questions about the office. As I am hiring people for any of Boozt’s offices, these situations are a bit tricky because I work from Vilnius, and I didn’t know much about office benefits in other locations. So I finally went to Poznan in Poland and Aarhus in Denmark to visit my amazing colleagues and offices. Now I can tell you more about it I’m also happy to share that we are hiring in those locations now: An experienced PHP developer in Poznan, Poland 🇵🇱 Data analyst in Aarhus, Denmark 🇩🇰 So, if you are looking for a nice opportunity, please check the comments and leave your contact details."

"Great discussion about the crucial role of customer and data insights in crafting personalized marketing communication at the recent Savant Events in hashtag#Stockholm together with Yasmin Kilic, Kathy Almén and Oisin Lunny. Good to see that the core principles of being data-driven, innovative, and equipped with powerful tools continue to position Boozt as a standout leader in the industry" Evgeniy Kulevnich on LinkedIn
"From one Boozt tech office to another: Vilnius, Lithuania - Aarhus, Denmark These two of our tech locations have the longest physical distance from one another, so visits may be less frequent. However, that's just physical distance. When you enter the office, you get the feeling that it's your place as well, that you belong here, even though it's your first time in the location and you're trying to find out where the cup for coffee is 😃 One may think it's strange to state this, but it's actually normal when you look deeper. It's the same culture, same thinking and complexity within challenges, same willingness to share views, to collaborate and try to do what's best for the company and each other. So here we are - the majority of Aarhus's office gathered in the canteen to discuss the Boozt Platform Ambassadorship. We went through five activities - none artificially created or somehow landed to execute. They are all reflections of noticed practices already happening in any of our locations - some are more popular in one location and may not be thought about in another. And they are all relevant as they're based on real experiences and feedback from our colleagues. This meeting confirmed once again that we're on the right track with this initiative - it is as it should be, not more and not less, nothing to push but everything that makes sense for us. Thank you, everyone at Aarhus, for being so engaged and for sharing your views and stories openly. It was a pleasure 🙌 "
"🎉 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟭 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗦𝗘𝘆𝗲: 𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! 🎉 Hello LinkedIn community! Today marks a momentous occasion as our team celebrates 𝟭𝟭 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 of dedicated work on our flagship application, 𝗖𝗦𝗘𝘆𝗲 (short for 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗘𝘆𝗲 👁️🗨️). 🚀 ## Our Mission: At CSEye, we're committed to empowering our clients—the customer service and order management departments—with cutting-edge tools that enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. 🌟 ## The Significance of 11 Years: As a developer, I can proudly say that reaching the 𝟭𝟭-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 is an honorable achievement for any application. 🎂 I can say that most apps degradating because of the weight of accumulated technical debt within 𝟰-𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, making a complete rewrite more appealing than paying off the entire debt. But not CSEye! We've prioritized regular refactoring and diligently kept all application components up-to-date. 💡 ## Technical Evolution: Our journey has been marked by significant upgrades. For instance: - We seamlessly transitioned from Symphony version 𝟮.𝟴 to 𝟲.𝟰. - Excitingly, we have plans to upgrade to 𝟳.𝟬 and 𝟳.𝟭 this quarter! - Our PHP version currently stands at 𝟴.𝟯. - We refactored FrontEnd to 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁" Ivan Smirnov on LinkedIn
