What We Learnt At The ScaleConf 2017 Scalability Summit
Originally published at www.scalablepath.com by Carlos on March 29, 2017.
We had a great time in Medellin, sponsoring ScaleConf 2017. The pioneering tech conference on Scalability, DevOps and Modern Software tools finished on Saturday. We’ve put together our highlights from the events including the slides and quotes from some of our favorite talks.
We’re big fans of this event for a few reasons. Firstly, a large percentage of our tech talent are from Latin America so it’s a perfect opportunity for us to support the local development community. We also happen to share many of the same goals as ScaleConf: supporting an inclusive and diverse tech community and encouraging the sharing of knowledge. They certainly walk the talk: with 40% of the talks given by women and 30% given by local Colombians!
ScaleConf is fairly new to the conference scene, but they definitely delivered. Bringing in some known brand names such as Hashicorp (Vagrant), Etsy, Twilio, Datadog, Travis CI and Auth0.
Our man on the ground was Colombia native and Scalable Path Tech Lead, Carlos Mafla, who manned the booth, and attended many of the talks. You can check his thoughts on the day over at @scalablepath.
