WTF is SRE is back and this time it's in person!
These past two years, we had three world-class tracks: Observability, Reliability and DevSecOps.
In our third edition of the conference, we're adding another! Get ready for next-level insights into the world of DevEx (Developer Experience).
What is WTF is SRE?
It is a highly-rated, very-tweeted-about, ridiculously-fun, wildly-insightful two-day conference designed to improve the world of Site Reliability Engineering.
Who should attend?
People with titles like Cloud Director, IT Director, Engineering Manager, Site Reliability Engineer, Ops Engineer, SysAdmin, Head of Ops, Head of Platform, Tech Team Lead, Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Tech Recruiter…
And Chief Innovation/Tech Chief (Innovation/Tech/Finance/Executive) Officers interested in uptime, site reliability and more frequent deployments.
