A Recap of DevOps Day Chicago 2023
Blog post from Observe
Observe's participation in the ninth annual DevOps Day Chicago highlighted the growing interest in observability among attendees, with an estimated turnout of 300-400 people, surpassing expectations for a regional event. The historic Willis Tower served as an impressive venue, although the food options were less satisfactory. Key topics included OpenTelemetry, CI/CD, and the evolving nature of DevOps, with notable talks such as Jessica Kerr's on OpenTelemetry, Jeremy Tanner's on infrastructure, and Eddie Knight's on shifting security left. The event featured a diverse audience of developers, SREs, and DevOps engineers, with a particularly memorable presentation by 11-year-old Sophia Stratton, showcasing the promising future of DevOps understanding among younger generations. Despite a dip in attendance on the second day, the event facilitated engaging discussions and showcased new features from Observe.
