Rootconf Mini 2024 (on 22nd & 23rd Nov)

Rootconf Mini 2024, Bangalore | Coming on 22nd & 23rd November

Overview

Rootconf is a forum for conversations around systems engineering and infrastructure, a theme that is frequently overlooked among the hype and excitement that higher level agendas attract. In reality, none of those agendas is achievable without the right infrastructure choices, which are intrinsically and deeply linked to our business, technology and product landscapes.

Hybrid event - Participate in-person, or join via the conference live stream (coming soon) 🎟️

Note: This event is open to current Rootconf members and ticket holders only. Please Register.

At this mini conference we:

1. Discuss aspects of system performance, quality, reliability, availability and people issues that affect deployments even beyond costs and ROI concerns.
2. Have experienced practitioners sharing insights and experiences of both successes and failures with their real-world case studies and war stories.
3. Evaluate strategies and tools that can help make better decisions regarding cost optimization, resource allocation, monitoring and automation for projects and organisational infrastructure.

What’s “Mini” about it? 🏋🏽

While the Rootconf annual conference has usually been held at a largish scale, we’ve had several discussions in the community about making it a more intimate space, which isn’t packed to the brim without time to mingle and converse.
This year’s edition of Rootconf is therefore an experiment with a new format. It’s “Mini” only in comparison, allowing for a little more relaxed pace between sessions. But worry not, it’s still going to be a whole lot of awesome!
