When it comes to industry events for software developers, how’s an engineer to know which hackathons to hit and which buzzword bingo fests to miss? To help you plan for the months ahead, here’s our comprehensive, chronological, regularly updated (and just slightly opinionated) list of the most awesome events for software developers and engineers around the world. We've updated this for summer 2022 with conferences where you can meet us and learn more about New Relic.
June 2022
Monitorama, June 27-29, Portland, OR, United States
Monitorama is a conference where the name doesn't do the audience or the content it showcases complete justice. To be sure, monitoring is a big part of it. This year's event features luminaries from across the tech spectrum and discussions that span the gamut—from carbon emissions and sustainability to designing scalable and usable systems, and topics that focus on our humanity, compassion, and empathy. Register here.
One of the primary topics of those discussions is OpenTelemetry. But breathless gushing and hand waving about "the future of observability" doesn't help practitioners get the work done. And that's why conferences like Monitorama are so invaluable. This isn't an extravaganza with 20,000 people racing from session to session or meandering through hundreds of vendor stalls. While ~400 attendees is more than a small dinner party, it's still intimate enough that you have a chance to make connections, hear people's stories, tell a few of your own, and—most importantly—learn new things you can put into action.
New Relic speakers are part of the party:
- Daniel Kim plans to show the audience exactly what OpenTelemetry data looks like when it hits your screen, and what it will help you discover (not to mention fix) in your environment. And he'll do it in just five minutes.
- Natalie Serrino will explore how collecting data, piping it to the right places, and transforming it into the right format becomes harder at scale, and how solutions like Pixie and OpenTelemetry help address those challenges.
- And I, (Leon Adato) plan to present what giving a spouse bad directions teaches us about designing good UI and UX.
