What we do

Practitioner talks, not vendor pitches.

Sessions are led by engineers who run these systems day to day. The bar is real operational experience: what broke, what it cost and what you would do differently.

  • 01

    Kubernetes in production

    Cluster design, upgrades and multi-tenancy past the demo stage, including the failure modes nobody puts in a conference talk.

  • 02

    Platform engineering

    Golden paths, internal developer platforms and GitOps, weighed against the cost of every layer of abstraction you add.

  • 03

    Observability

    Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, tracing and eBPF visibility, from first instrumentation through to a pager that fires for good reasons.

  • 04

    Security and supply chain

    Workload identity, policy as code, image signing and keeping a software supply chain you can actually defend.

  • 05

    Networking at scale

    Service meshes, CNI choices, Cilium and eBPF, ingress design and what east-west traffic really costs you.

  • 06

    Upstream contribution

    Getting Karachi engineers landing patches in CNCF projects, not just consuming them from a registry.

Events

Meetups run on the CNCF platform.

RSVPs, venue details, slides and recordings all live in one place, so nothing depends on this site staying current.
