Why I'm leaving GitHub for Forgejo

The Dutch Ministry of the Interior launched code.overheid.nl, a self-hosted Forgejo instance for government source code. This move was driven by the need to own and control the platform where code is published. Forgejo was chosen over GitLab for its open-source nature and alignment with the ministry.. read more

What kubectl debug doesn’t tell you: The silent evidence gap

kubectl debugsessions leave almost no forensic trace: by design,EphemeralContainerStatushas nolastStateorrestartCount, so the exit code, session duration, target container, and debugger logs disappear from the Kubernetes API the moment anything else updates the pod. That breaks incident handoffs (th.. read more

When AI agents become contributors: How KubeStellar reached 81% PR acceptance

The KubeStellar Console team learned that AI coding agents improve after engineers build deterministic feedback loops into the codebase. Engineers who grant more autonomy give agents more room to guess, with no new correction signal... read more

Extending AI gateways with Rust

Every gateway ships with a set of built-in policies. Authentication. Rate limiting. Request routing. Prompt guards. These cover most use cases. But what about the ones they don’t cover? What if you need to add a custom header based on a database lookup? What if you need to transform a request body i.. read more

How Code works in large codebases: Best practices and where to start

Anthropic breaks down the patterns behind successful Claude Code rollouts in monorepos, legacy systems, and codebases spanning thousands of developers, arguing that Claude Code performs agentic search over a live filesystem instead of relying on a RAG index that drifts out of sync with active engine.. read more

Claude’s next enterprise battle is not models: it’s the agent control plane

New data shows Microsoft and OpenAI leading agent orchestration, but Anthropic's rising stake signals a shift in control of AI infrastructure. Anthropic's move from model to orchestration layer hints at a strategic battle over agent runtime platforms where operational AI work happens... read more

Tokenomics: the 62.5-minute rule for Claude's cache

Ryan Skidmore works out the tokenomics of Anthropic's prompt cache and lands on a single rule: if you expect to need a cached prefix again within 62.5 minutes, keep refreshing it with cheap reads; past that, let it expire and rewrite, because a 5-minute cache write costs 1.25x base input and a read .. read more  

Tokenomics: the 62.5-minute rule for Claude's cache
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
