Tech Internals Conf is a 2-day professional conference for developers of high load systems, for everyone involved in the creation of large-scale complex projects.
In short, Tech Internals Conf is about hardcore software engineering.
It is about technologies. A deep and thorough look into the internals of technological components, predominantly having software engineering focus, of how those components in fact operate and interwork with other components.
It is about technologies that can be used to build systems. Technology for the sake of technology makes little practical sense, and the overall complexities tend to lie in the intersections of different technological components, and not necessarily within isolated ones. Systems build out of components, but the whole is always greater than its parts, and it takes quite a lot more than just knowing the components themselves to build a system.
It is about stories of technologies that were used to build large scale and highload systems. TIC focuses on reflections back onto what has been done with fascinating technological components and systems built out of them. It is about large scale, highly loaded real world systems that we might use daily and take for granted without any consideration paid to the complexities that lie beneath. It is not about what could be done in theory, it is about what has been achieved and the pains and lessons learnt.
We focus on the following topics:
Architecture: The end-to-end vision of products and services, and on a lower level an end-to-end view into the systems that produce and provide those products and services.
#System Architecture & Scalability #Databases, Storage Systems, Big Data #Queues & Data Streams #Software Architecture & Design patterns #Microservices
Development: What it took to build a system or a component, with a detailed glimpse into internals of some particular technology area or some component.
#Software Engineering #Best Coding Practices & Writing Maintainable Code #Machine Learning & Neural Networks #Video & Video Streaming #Quality Assurance & Testing
Infrastructure: Underlying hardware and software components behind a system running.
#System Administration #Hardware Performance Optimization #Clouds & Data centers #Networks, Internet, Connectivity #Internet of Things
Operation: What does it take to run a service? How could one spoil the brilliant product with a faulty operational practice? Or how could one sleep calmly at night while a fleet of systems keeps running flawlessly?
#SRE & DevOps #Security & DevSecOps #Platform Engineering #Observability #Stress testing
System design: How were some systems or components built, why were design decisions made in a particular way, and what other options were considered and ultimately rejected? Success and failure stories of how some system-level components were designed.
#Component Design and Sub-System Design #Performance Engineering #Low Level Programming #Managing Dependencies in Code
Where? In Berlin, Germany.

Talk format
How we work with speakers
1. Paper submission
We do not accept sales pitch style presentations. We are looking for people passionate about performance, who are able to speak effectively and from experience and who understand our audience of developers.
The program is designed by the developer community, representatives of large companies from around the world, and by tech developers and community activists. The selection of papers is multi-layered and complex — the Program Committee selects the best papers from the received applications unanimously according to several criteria.
2. Communication with program committee
A call with a member of the Program Committee may be scheduled if there are questions regarding your paper.
3. Competition and decision making
Program committee makes final decision by the stated deadline. Sometimes we might need more time due to high competition among submitted papers. The decision is primarily based on several criteria - applicability outside of speaker's context, up to date, uniqueness (the paper should not be already presented at previous conferences).
Each speaker will be contacted by program coordinator and informed on the final decision of the committee. For any questions prior or past that moment please feel free to contact us!
4. Developing your talk
A dedicated member of the PC will offer help with developing your talk and doing a dry run before the conference. We are there for you to help prepare well structured and performed talk that brings value to the audience!
Please let us know if you need your travel and accomodation expenses to be covered. Speakers have full access to all conference activities. We provide assistance with talk preparation. Usually we organize pre-conference dinner for the speakers and PC networking. Speakers get a free ticket to any Tech Internals Conf next year.
