To address this, you can consider using OCI registries and ConfigHub as alternative state store options. When it comes to secrets management, options like .. read more

LLMs Are Good at SQL. We Gave Ours Terabytes of CI Logs.

Mendral's agent runs ad‑hocSQLagainst compressedClickHouselogs. It traces flaky tests across months and scans up to 4.3B rows per investigation. They denormalize 48 metadata columns per log line. They compress 5.31 TiB down to ~154 GiB (~21 bytes/line) — a 35:1 ratio. That turns arbitrary filters in.. read more

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.
