The future of observability is developer-native: A deep dive into the next wave of diagnostics

"The systems we build are becoming too complex to merely monitor. We need systems that explain themselves."

Once upon a time, just monitoring your systems was enough. You had a few servers, maybe Nagios or Zabbix, some uptime checks, and that was it.

Then everything changed. The cloud arrived, followed by containers, microservices, and serverless. Suddenly, your "app" wasn't just a server; it was dozens of services, scattered across data centers, ephemeral environments, third-party APIs, and edge locations.

Monitoring just doesn't cut it anymore.

Today, we're firmly in the era of observability.

Cursor makes developers less effective?

METRtapped 16 devs to squash 136 live bugs withCursor(Sonnet 3.5/3.7). They clocked 146 h. AI users zipped through code, but stalls, reviews, and IDE lag devoured their lead. One dev who logged 50+ hours withCursorunlocked a 38% speedup. That steep learning curve and costly context pivots wipe out g.. read more

SQL Injection as a Feature

Developers swapped hardcoded queries fordatabase-drivenreport names. They slapped ontimeouts,string filters, and warnings but skipped restoring safe defaults. Implic.. read more

SQL Injection as a Feature

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.
