Northern Utah is proud to host the fifth Salt Lake City DevOps Days. This event has led the conversation in the state as far as DevOps organizational practices and tooling. In 2023 the theme will be Back to BASIC . We will have a focus on the things that got us to where we are today.

With all of the shiny tools, titles and buzz words, it is easy to forget that automation and the principles around a DevOps Agile transformation is pretty basic and hasn’t changed over -um- the last 40 years. For year five of DevOps Days we surveyed the landscape (well, ok. Really, we surveyed it in 2020, and then /COVID/ so now we're just happy to be doing this again!) and found that, even though there are plenty of shiny keys out there, we would like to revisit the Basic. So what are the basics of a CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, database, testing, TDD, user story writing, prioritization? What are the basics of getting things from concept to customer in todays world?

A surfeit of software philosophies have hit the industry over the last few years, all claiming to reduce friction in digital transformation. But what does that mean, how does it impact your design philosophy, and where does open source play into all of this? We’ll talk about the roots of DevOps in the Theory of Constraints, how 12-Factor principles can guide your microservice and cloud migration refactor efforts, and how building an optimal strategy for the use of open source within your organization can tie all of these concepts together. Finally, we’ll look at the future of DevOps and how Developer Productivity Engineering is evolving to address the next set of bottlenecks, those hiding within the developer experience.
Justin Reock, Chief Evangelist and Field CTO of Gradle, Inc, will take you through a visually-guided tour of modern DevOps and how we came to it, so that you never again have to utter those fallacious and all-to-common words: “There are lots of definitions of DevOps.”

getting down to basics around what makes operating in an organization of any scale so miserable... coordination costs, low trust, silos, queues, and excessive toil. If you get these concepts and (know how to spot the effects), you can diagnose your own organization and get to work fixing it.
