The End of Static AI: How Self-Evolving Meta-Agents Will Reshape Work Forever

Meta-agent architectureunleashes AI agents to craft, sharpen, and supercharge other agents—leaving static models in the dust. Amazingly, within a mere 60 seconds, one agent slashes response times by40%and boosts accuracy by23%. The kicker? It keeps learning from real data—no human nudges needed... read more

Agentic Coding Recommendations

Claude Codeat $100/month smirks at the spendyOpus. It excels at spinning tasks with the nimbleSonnet model. When it comes to backend projects, lean intoGo. It sidesteps Python's pitfalls—clearer to LLMs, rooted context, and less chaos in its ecosystem. Steer clear of pointless upgrades. Those tempti.. read more

JINX-0132takes a sneaky approach. It exploits Nomad's initial slip-ups to secretly mine crypto. How? By leveraging GitHub for downloads and dodging those pesky Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Even big players using Nomad to juggle hundreds of clients aren't safe. A simple misconfiguration and poof—.. read more

You’re not a platform team if you’re just managing infrastructure

Platform engineering? It's not just gift-wrapping infrastructure as a service. It's about handing devs the reins and saying, "Go wild." Think of it like an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), similar to theGoogle Cloud Platform. Here, users truly own their services. The result? Scalability soars, bot.. read more  

You’re not a platform team if you’re just managing infrastructure
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.
