Database Sharding in 1 diagram and 204 words

Sharding breaks a heavyweight database into bite-sized chunks spread across servers. That means better scalability, less strain on any one node. The key? Picking the right shard key. Get that wrong, and you’re in cross-shard query hell. Modulo, range, and consistent hashing each slice the pie diff.. read more

Ship tools as standalone static binaries

OpenAI’s rewritingCodexinRust, ditching the oldTypeScriptversion. Why? To ship it as a single static binary—no messy installs, no glue code juggling. Just run. Rust cuts down runtime failures, trims the attack surface, and kills off toolchain sprawl. Less fragility. More control. System shift:Team.. read more

AI agents can help wrangletest suite maintenance—if you treat them likejunior devs. That means tight prompts, clear boundaries, and someone keeping an eye on them.

Why I chose OCaml as my primary language

OCaml’s grown up. Multicore support is in. So are user-defined effects. Under the hood, affine types, staged metaprogramming, and effect typing are steering it toward resource-safe programming—with actual thrust. Its type system still slaps: powerful modules, GADTs, algebraic types, and now first-c.. read more

Git Branching Strategies: A Comprehensive Guide
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
