Lessons from scaling PostgreSQL queues to 100K events

RudderStack crankedPostgreSQLup to100K events/secas a queuing engine. The secret sauce: tight tuning of job partitioning, smarter indexing, tuned VACUUM timing, and compaction that didn't choke. Recursive CTEs stood in for loose index scans. Caching cut I/O repeats. They ditched byte slices to side.. read more

OpenAI walked back its latest release after users flaggedGPT-5for sounding flat, hallucinating more, and losing creative spark. The fix? Rolling back to the friendlierGPT-4o. Head-to-head tests told a nuanced story:GPT-5nailed accuracy and structure across most prompts. But when the task called for.. read more

Context Engineering for AI Agents: Lessons from Building Manus

Failures make great teachers—especially for LLMs. Stuffing failed attempts right into the prompt helps agents recalibrate. It nudges their internal priors, cuts down on repeat mistakes, and sparks smarter behavior... read more

MCP Vulnerabilities Every Developer Should Know

MCP’s blowing up across platforms—but the security? Still sketchy. Think tool description injection. Botched OAuth. Open doors to supply chain attacks. The new MCP 2025-06-18 spec tries to clean house (no token passthrough, mandatory user consent), but most real-world setups either drag their feet .. read more

Building AI Products In The Probabilistic Era

Modern AI broke the rulebook. By spitting outstochastic outputs from unbounded inputs, it flipped software dev from a game of precision to one of probability. Old tools—funnels, SLO dashboards, crisp A/B tests—don’t quite fit anymore. They were built for systems that behaved. Today’s AI stacks mov.. read more

Myth Or Reality: Will AI Replace Computer Programmers?

Generative AI tools likeGPT-4oandClaude Sonnetnow handle the grunt work—fixing bugs, cranking out code, writing docs—with scary accuracy. Amazon and Anthropic are already hinting at hiring fewer engineers. But the jobs aren’t vanishing; they’re mutating... read more  

Myth Or Reality: Will AI Replace Computer Programmers?
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.
