Rajan Gupta has spent over 13 years living and breathing Linux, virtualization, and data center systems—long before “cloud-native” became a buzzword. Today, he is a DevOps and Platform Engineer with a clear mission: to build powerful, self-service Kubernetes platforms that don’t just scale but also make developers’ lives easier.

He automates everything possible—from infrastructure provisioning to CI/CD pipelines to observability—enabling engineers to focus on what they do best: building great software. Throughout his career, Rajan has led automation-first transformations, implemented GitOps at scale, and designed platforms that achieve real adoption.

However, his work goes beyond tools and YAML; it centers on people, culture, and clarity. He is passionate about mentoring, sharing practical lessons learned, and fostering a DevOps mindset that truly sticks.

For anyone interested in DevOps, Platform Engineering, scaling Kubernetes, or simply making infrastructure less painful, Rajan Gupta is eager to connect, exchange ideas, and build something better—together.

Scaling gRPC in High-Traffic Environments: Lessons from Production

The rise of microservices has completely transformed how we build distributed systems, and gRPC is quickly becoming the go-to choice for communication between services. But while many recognize gRPC's powerful features on paper, there's often a big gap when it comes to running it smoothly in real-world, high-traffic production environments. This session is designed to bridge that gap—combining core concepts with practical, battle-tested lessons to help you confidently adopt and scale gRPC in your own systems.
In today's fast-moving world, traditional REST APIs can't always keep up. As service architectures become more complex and latency demands grow tighter, the overhead of JSON, the limits of HTTP/1.1, and the lack of strong typing start to slow things down. That's where gRPC shines: its efficient binary Protocol Buffers, HTTP/2 multiplexing, and strongly-typed contracts give you speed, reliability, and clarity—but only if you know how to implement them well at scale.
