2025: The year in LLMs

2025 was the year LLMs stopped just answering questions and started building things.Reasoning modelslike OpenAI’s o-series and Claude Code took over tool-driven workflows. Asynchronous coding agentsbroke out. These models didn’t just write code - they ran it, debugged it, then did it again. That loo.. read more

My LLM coding workflow going into 2026

Anthropic saysClaude Code writes about 90% of its own code now. Why? Because devs are getting smart with AI. They're slicing problems into tight, testable chunks and running structured workflows that keep LLMs on a short leash. It's not just prompts anymore. Think context packaging, multi-agent setu.. read more

The flaw torpedoed EC2 networking, hobbled Lambda and Fargate, and dragged down theNetwork Load Balancer. Endpoints ghosted. Configs stalled. Everything snowballed. AWS says they’ll upgrade EC2 th.. read more

You don’t need NAT gateway to deploy Lambda into VPC

AWS just made a big dent in NAT gateway bills. You can now runLambda in VPCs with IPv6 and an egress-only Internet gateway- no more always-on NAT draining your wallet. Keep the private subnets locked down. Still get outbound Internet access. IPv6 handles the traffic, slicing out the NAT middleman... read more

ArgoCD diffs at scale

Monday.com ditched ArgoCD's built-in manifest diffing. Instead, they wired up a custom CI renderer that pre-renders Helm charts using real cluster data. Then it compares the desired states across Git branches. The kicker: diffs go to a UI with custom grouping support. Reviews get easier. New devs ge.. read more

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

A former NASA engineer - now a Google Cloud AI infra alum - rips apart the idea of building GPU datacenters in orbit. His verdict: space is a terrible server rack. Power delivery? A nightmare. Heat dissipation? Worse in a vacuum. Radiation? Frying time. Even a 200kW solar rig (think ISS-sized) could.. read more

2025 Internet Trends: Explosive AI Crawling Growth and the Rise of 30+ Tbps DDoS Attacks

In 2025, Internet growth was driven less by humans and more by AI, with AI crawling and user-triggered access surging while post-quantum encryption secured over half of human web traffic. Security risks intensified as record-breaking DDoS attacks topped 30 Tbps and government-imposed shutdowns accounted for nearly half of major global outages.

2025 Internet Trends: Explosive AI Crawling Growth and the Rise of 30+ Tbps DDoS Attacks
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.
