The DevOps Buzzword Decoder

Let’s face it – DevOps is full of buzzwords.

Every year, there’s a new wave: Platform Engineering. FinOps. GitOps. SRE. Internal Developer Portals. Golden Paths.

They sound cool. They might even be the future. But what do they actually mean for your team, your systems, and your day-to-day reality?

At SLC DevOps Days, we don’t just chase the latest trends — we break them down, challenge them, and talk about what actually works.

Cut Through the Hype

Our talks, panels, and hallway conversations go beyond surface-level definitions. You’ll hear from engineers and leaders who are:

  • Building internal platforms and figuring out what really helps developers.
  • Grappling with FinOps tradeoffs in real cloud environments.
  • Using GitOps and IaC to scale deployments — or hitting walls and pivoting.
  • Rethinking what Site Reliability Engineering should actually look like in their orgs.

This isn’t theory. It’s experience shared from the trenches — what teams have tried, what’s failed, and what’s starting to stick.

Learn What’s Next (and What’s Not Worth Your Time)

We all want to stay ahead of the curve – but not at the cost of chasing shiny objects. At SLC DevOps Days, you’ll find clarity on:

  • What’s a true trend vs. what’s just rebranded operations.
  • Where companies are seeing real ROI.
  • How to start small and scale smart with new practices.

Whether you’re a skeptic, an early adopter, or just trying to keep your head above water in a sea of new acronyms — you’ll find value here.
