"In Platform in Boozt, we have a "trailblazer initiative". The idea is to have regular meetings for all team leaders from our IT department. Today, we focused on the incident response process and issue escalation. The idea was to remind everyone how the process look and introduce late improvements in security incident management. We discussed how to improve processes, escalate issues, and ensure good collaboration and engagement. We started with reliability incidents. People engaged in the discussion, which was more than welcome. Engagement was higher than expected, and we ran out of time and could not cover security incidents. We started with the process itself. Team leaders were able to glance under the hood of the "SRE team engine" and hear what happens before the developers are engaged. Next, we discussed how to ensure issues are escalated to the development teams correctly and how they can be escalated inside the teams. Here, it helps the watch/bug master role, which is standard for our teams. We can still improve the propagation of issues when they reach developers. Another thing is to ensure communication is shared for better visibility over the issue, especially if it is cross-team. Understanding different severity levels and propagating them correctly with issue escalation is also important." Continue reading by Lukasz Pawlowski on LinkedIn:
"Since joining Boozt, I’ve had the pleasure of playing floorball with my colleagues every Friday. Our company provides the field and equipment, so any employee can join in—just bring your sports gear! Floorball is a fun and engaging game that’s accessible to everyone. From an HR perspective, team sports like this are excellent for team building. There’s nothing quite like working together in a game where success requires collaboration, mutual support, and leveraging each other’s strengths. We celebrate small achievements and shared victories. In my team, I always use this opportunity to strengthen our bonds. 🏑🤝 Thanks to teammates for constantly joining to the game ♥️ Andrii Medvedskyi Roman Kislov Sadaf Farajian Thanks to ex-colleagues who joined today Karen Harutyunyan Tao S.

""Chuck Norris doesn't reduce cloud costs. He stares at the cloud console until it pays him back for using too much compute power." 😎 While we can't intimidate our servers into cost savings, we can use GCP's spot instances to achieve even greater savings than the already discounted rates offered by Committed Use Discounts (CUD). 📉 At Boozt, we use a load balancer with two types of Managed Instance Groups (MIGs): one autoscaled group of on-demand instances covered by CUD and another with preemptible resources. By setting lower CPU targets for preemptible instances, we maximize their usage and minimize costs, all while maintaining robust failover with on-demand instances when Google reclaims spot instances. Spot instances offer substantial cost advantages, even over CUD rates, but they require careful management due to their ephemeral nature. Our strategy ensures cost efficiency and operational reliability, effectively balancing the scales." Donatas Navidonskis on LinkedIn
"🏃♂️ Running Towards Health and Team Bonding! 🏃♀️ Today, my teammate Roman Kislov and I laced up our running shoes for a refreshing 9K run during lunchtime. Our route took us to the sea, where we enjoyed a breathtaking view of the Oresund bridge. 🌊 Why do we run? Because sports make us stronger and our brains cleaner! 💪 And this run was more than just exercise; it was a one-on-one bonding session. We chatted, laughed, and shared stories all the way. 🗣️ But here’s the fun part: accidental encounters! Before our run, we bumped into our C-level managers, who wished us well. It’s moments like these that remind us of the tight-knit community at our company. 🤝 At Boozt, we don’t just talk the talk; we walk (or run) the walk! Encouraging employees to prioritize health and fitness is part of our company culture. 🌟 And guess what? Boozt is also a proud sponsor of big sports events and teams. 🎉 Speaking of which, our run today was a warm-up for the Göteborgsvarvet half marathon on May 18. Boozt is the general sponsor, and we’re excited to be part of this incredible event! 🏅 So, whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, remember: Every step counts. Let’s keep moving forward together! 👟🌞" Ivan Smirnov on LinkedIn:

"Our 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report is out, and I am very pleased with our progress on sustainability reporting. Data is key, both for our business success and for becoming the leading responsible Nordic department store. In e-commerce, we talk a lot about the environmental impact of last-mile deliveries and at @Boozt we are dedicated to constantly innovating and refining our delivery and return processes. In 2023, our last-mile distribution, including returns, accounts for only 0.74% of our total GHG emissions. This is thanks to our strategic approach, which includes centralizing outbound distribution and return management in one local and highly automated fulfilment centre, intelligent and effective routing, and a close collaboration with trusted last-mile carriers.
