Thank you to our 2019 speakers!
Dash is an annual conference about building and scaling the next generation of applications, infrastructure, and technical teams. The two-day conference brings together more than 1,200 engineers across dev and ops who are taking their systems and organizations to the next level of velocity, performance, reliability, and scale. Dash features a mix of speaking sessions, hands-on labs and trainings, and opportunities to make new connections and exchange ideas.

Performance
In our pursuit to push our systems to do more, both applications and infrastructure are growing more complex. As this happens, we're running into a common problem: performance. Hear stories about how companies are building faster applications and systems that deliver better user experiences.
Scaling Systems
Dash is about scaling up and speeding up, but we can't do that with the tools and architectures of the past. We've moved from monoliths to microservices, servers to containers; but what's next? Hear how others are architecting the applications and infrastructure of the future.
Teams
Brook's Law tells us that we can't simply add more people to get more done. Scaling teams is a delicate balance of adding new members, while managing work, mentoring teammates, building processes, and growing culture. Hear how others are building their teams and setting them up for success.
Transformations & Case Studies
Organizations and technical systems aren’t static. As we encounter new challenges, we have to adapt our approach and our technologies to solve them. Hear about first hand experience of technical and organizational evolutions and revolutions so that you may follow their success (or avoid mistakes).

Traces allow us to see units of work as they pass across our subsystems. We'll introduce distributed tracing as a method to gain visibility and insight into these distributed applications.
In this workshop, we'll dive into adding to the confidence of deployment in complex environments, with APM and Distributed Traces.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to define SLOs and monitor the right service level indicators to ensure reliability. Armed with this information, we'll introduce chaos into a sample application and learn how to respond effectively using error budgets.
