			<strong>Is DevEx not good… because we don't want it to be?</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Every developer claims they want something that just works, so they can just get back to
			writing code. But… we love being the latest to use a new tool, take joy in debugging
			problems no one else can solve, and want to know how things work under the hood. Every
			tool claims to make our lives faster and easier, but what do we really want out of our
			developer experience? Maybe we do want it to be hard - just not too hard.

			<strong>Internal DevX Experience is broken… and you should be pissed</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Our day to day developer experience is filled with practices that are inefficient, panic
			ridden and just down-right an utter slog. Let's talk about how we can create a more
			delightful daily experience by shifting our perspective from just in time understanding to
			continuous code understanding.

			Do you know what's stopping developers from getting started with your product? Developer
			experience testing exposes the developer's point of view as they get started with your
			product. You don't need to be a UX researcher to start gathering feedback today. This talk
			will show you how you can run your own DX test in minutes with free tools.

		<p>VSCode Power User Tips & Tricks</p>
		<p>
		After 10 years with Sublime Text, I switched to VSCode — the new open-source cross-platform editor everyone's talking about. I've spent over 1,000 hours perfecting my setup to help you switch today. In this talk, you'll get to learn tens of VSCode Power User workflows that'll help you save time and code more efficiently. Text manipulation to multi-cursors and even Markdown tips/tricks. You name it.

			<strong>Streamlining Firebase Development with local Emulators</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			People love Firebase for making every read or write just an API call away. What they
			didn’t love was that, for years, the only development environment where you could reliably
			test changes was a duplicate Firebase project. It was expensive, prone to mishaps, and
			required an internet connection at all times. This is the story of building local
			emulators that let a developer set up a new Firebase dev environment in about a minute,
			and the mistakes we made along the way.

			<strong>The story of GitHub1s - speed & familiarity matters</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Almost everyone knows VS Code and probably has tried it. With GitHub1s, you can use VS
			Code as a web app to browse open source codes without cloning the repo. And even switch to
			a PR or a tag to see the changed files side by side. We will share how GitHub1s achieves
			this and what open source community means to us.

			<strong>Trapped in the Open Source Supply Chain</strong>
		  </p>

			Let us talk about the perspective of open source projects as dependencies. As someone in
			the middle of it, I just wanted to share some thoughts on taking what is considered
			largely a hobby and going the donation route. What are maintainers free to work on, what
			is the lifecycle of a project, what is worth funding anyway?

			<strong>How to build a dApp</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Decentralized apps (dApps) are continuing to gain momentum in the industry. Blockchain
			developers are also now some of the highest paid in the entire industry. Building
			decentralized apps is a paradigm shift that requires a different way of thinking than apps
			built with traditional centralized infrastructure, tooling, and services.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			As a React developer, I had a hard time understanding this entirely new (to me) ecosystem,
			how everything fit together, and the mental model needed to understand and be a productive
			full stack developer in this space.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In this talk, I'll give a comprehensive overview of the space, how you can get started
			building these types of applications, and the entire tech stack broken apart then put back
			together to show how everything works.

			<strong>Using Observability to improve the Developer Experience</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Observability is often associated with production and live environments, but it shouldn't
			be! In this talk we'll explore innovative ways in which modern observability tools and
			best practices can be leveraged during development to: improve developer productivity,
			identify regressions earlier in the SDLC, and increase the performance and reliability of
			our CI/CD workflows.

			<strong>Cloud Native Java</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” -W. Edwards Deming</p>
		  <p>
			Work takes time to flow through an organization and ultimately be deployed to production
			where it captures value. It’s critical to reduce time-to-production. Software - for many
			organizations and industries - is a competitive advantage. Organizations break their
			larger software ambitions into smaller, independently deployable, feature -centric batches
			of work - microservices. In order to reduce the round-trip between stations of work,
			organizations collapse or consolidate as much of them as possible and automate the rest;
			developers and operations beget “devops,” cloud-based services and platforms automate
			operations work and break down the need for ITIL tickets and change management boards. But
			velocity, for velocity’s sake, is dangerous. Microservices invite architectural complexity
			that few are prepared to address. In this talk, we’ll look at how high performance
			organizations like Ticketmaster, Alibaba, and Netflix make short work of that complexity
			with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In this talk, we'll look at how to build cloud-native Java systems that are elastic,
			agile, observable and robust.

			<strong>Ephemeral Development Environments</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			Local, long-lived development environments are what we are used to. We spend effort to
			configure and nurture them, which takes time away from more important tasks. In this talk,
			Mike and Anton introduce the concept of ephemeral development environments, their benefits
			and how you can get started right away too.

			<strong>Building a K8s Operator for a Distributed Database</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			How did we build a k8s operator that allows 100% up time for a high availability high
			workload database? Operating a distributed high load, high throughput database in the
			cloud comes with several interesting challenges. In order to manage real-time serving of
			mission critical workloads at 100% availability we developed a Kubernetes operator that
			handles the operational complexities.
		  </p>
		  <p>We needed to handle the following requirements:</p>
		  <ul>
			<li>Apply live patches</li>
			<li>Replace live cluster with tens of nodes</li>
			<li>Handle degraded/crashed nodes</li>
		  </ul>
		  <p>Under these conditions:</p>
		  <ul>
			<li>High Availability</li>
			<li>remain 100% online with no down time</li>
			<li>Operate under very high workloads and traffic</li>
			<li>Manage replicated records across different hardware failure groups (rack awareness)</li>
		  </ul>
		  <p>Due to its stateful nature and the type of workloads that are usually handled, cluster management and recovery are non-trivial. We are using the Operators API to handle that complexity and control the clusters from within Kubernetes. In this talk we’ll cover the steps we took to plan and execute and the challenges we faced and share the best practices.</p>

			<strong>Building Supabase Storage. DevX, performance, security - choose three</strong>
		  </p>
  
		  <p>
			Balancing Developer Experience with other concerns like performance and security is not
			straightforward. For example, you might be able to expose a simpler API at the cost of
			system performance. This talk goes into how we balance these concerns when we launched
			Supabase Storage.
		  </p>
  
		  <p>
			Supabase Storage is an object storage service that tightly integrates with Postgres and
			leverages our existing Auth System elegantly. There are a lot of interesting design
			choices we had to make along the way to build the storage middleware and the client APIs.
			We explore why we built yet another object storage system and the pitfalls we avoided by
			evaluating prior work. The architecture we settled on also had the benefit of being
			extensible to more storage backends in the future. We also put in a lot of thought in
			making the storage client APIs simple and familiar.

			<strong>DevX: History of Code Search</strong>

			used it before. We'll go over the history and evolution of code search, why it's becoming
			more popular now, and how it might help you and your collaborators become a better team of
			software engineers.

			<strong>Why I love incremental delivery and why you should too.</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			In order to innovate and deliver new products that your users will love you often have to
			design & build very complex features. You may even be the first doing that in that
			particular way, so you will often struggle to find experts on the topic to help you. With
			incremental delivery you can empower your team to become the expert and still have a
			shorter time to market by delivering value to customers one mini feature at a time. At
			Snyk, my team has used incremental delivery to deliver countless technically complex
			features – this is definitely one for your toolbox.

			<strong>Make your APIs Developer-friendly</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			APIs are not only ‘programming interfaces’ they’re how teams split work, collaborate with
			one another, share capabilities, and make awesome software. Most APIs are internal and
			we’re all in an API relationship with other teams of developers. So let’s talk about how
			good API design, empathy, and modern tools can help you build better relationships with
			the teams around you, great APIs, and amazing products. I’ll be sharing some stories from
			my time in the API space, tools and practices to explore, and some slides from a few
			special guests. If you produce, consume or live with an API — you should definitely make
			time for this talk!

			<strong>"Testing" in Prod Isn't the Only Way: Why Observability Needs Structure</strong>
		  </p>
		  <p>
			The rise of APIs and service-oriented architectures has made it easier than ever before to
			build complex web applications. But the developer tools we use were made for a simpler
			time, one where developers had more control over all of the software they ran. Today, web
			applications contain many heterogeneous components, all talking to each other across the
			network, many of them SaaS apps. "Testing" in production has become the only way to make
			sense. I'll talk about why we need to update our idea of testing, how we can do better at
			understanding prod, and how bringing structure to observability is the way forward for
			both.
