I'm a software developer at the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways / NS). I work on software that is used to keep an eye on all the trains. It is used in the day-to-day operations, where a 24/7 shift keeps track of the trains, and makes sure problems are solved with as little impact on travelers as possible.
Session
The Dutch railways have been operating an increasingly complicated network of trains for over 80 years. The task of overseeing it is far too complex for a single human. As such, a network of specifically scoped humans has been connected. Over time, computers and software have been introduced into the system, but today there is still a significant role for humans.
This talk describes the network of "human microservices" that is involved in the Dutch Railways' day to day operation from the eyes of a software developer.
