Agents as Products (Tom Robbins, heytavi.com)
Building better harnesses can help you make the most of LLMs, but many of the things that make agents truly useful - reliability, intuitive interfaces, integration into third party systems, and solid data primitives - draw on many of the same things it takes to build great SaaS products.
These are the things I've learned building HeyTavi, an agent that lives in Slack built for recruiters and hiring managers. We mix traditional microservice architecture with a new idea inspired by OpenClaw and cloud coding agents: providing each customer with an always-on VM with persistent storage. This blurs the lines between being ""frontend"" or ""backend"". We propose the name ""nanoservice"" - meaning a service that runs 24/7 and serves a single customer, and over which the customer must be assumed to have full control.

Tom has been writing software for nearly 2 decades. Ex-Citymapper, with a stint in life sciences writing AI software for most of the major global pharma companies. Now he's building HeyTavi, an AI coworker for hiring managers and recruiters that lives in Slack. He can be found on X at @RobbinsTom4867

Scaling Btrfs in an enterprise (Motiejus Jakštys, Palo Alto Networks / Chronosphere)
Btrfs was merged into the Linux kernel in 2009, arriving with bold promises --- and, let's be honest, a reputation for instability. I first tried it on my laptop in 2011. It wiped my data. Twice. On the bright side, it taught me the value of backups.
Fast forward to 2025: btrfs is no longer the experimental filesystem of the past. It's stable, mature, feature-rich, and fully part of the Linux kernel. But old reputations die hard.
I'll share the decision-making process, key performance and reliability insights, and the quirks you only discover when running btrfs at scale, and how we adopted it for petabytes of customer data.

Motiejus Jakštys works in the database team at Palo Alto Networks / Chronosphere. He is also a cartographer, creating maps for no particular reason. Maybe it has something to do with him liking long hikes, but he's not sure.
He is running a beefy server in a closet at home, because he likes talking about servers with his kids.
You can find out a bit more about him on his personal website at https://m.jakstys.lt

Hello DevOps enthusiasts,

Join us for our next DevOps Belfast meetup, hosted by iManage, on Tuesday 11th August at 6pm.

DevOps is about handing off toil, not creating more of it. This lightning talks event looks at automation through a DevOps lens: what machines can take on, what still needs a human, and how teams are cutting out the boring bits to focus on the work that matters.

Presentations:
1. Will Lucas, Principal SRE and Senior Manager at iManage, Ops to SRE - Automating Away the Boring Things.
Will will take us through the evolution from traditional Ops to SRE, and share how iManage adapts SRE to suit their business.

2. TBA!

On Thursday, August 13th, Glassity and Revolgy will host the 3rd AWS Meetup in Estonia.

When? 13.08.2026, 17:30
Where? LIFT99, Telliskivi 60a/5, B-building
https://maps.app.goo.gl/3YZG3ZSgQucbVodP6

Agenda:
17:30 - Doors are open🚪; food and drinks ready 🍕🍺
18:00-19:30 - Talks 💡
19:30 onward - Networking, food, drinks
This event will be held in English. Due to limited space, we’ll offer spots on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up fast to secure yours!

Talks:

0️⃣ Intro

Štěpán Kaiser, meetup co-organizer and idea author, will share updates on our meetup group.

1️⃣ AWS quotas usage monitoring without CloudWatch

Nicolai Antiferov, Site Reliability Engineer at Bolt

Any service in AWS has quotas and it's not great to hit them accidentally, especially during the incident in the middle of the night.
That's why it's important to monitor quotas and their usage and increase them beforehand.
AWS default solution is CloudWatch. But what if your monitoring stack is built on top of Prometheus and you don't particularly like CloudWatch?

2️⃣ Building security and auto remediation in AWS (and beyond)

Andoni Alonso Fernández, Cloud Security Engineer & AWS Community Builder

Details for this session are being finalized. Description coming soon.

3️⃣ Vibing AWS with an agentic cloud second brain

Jose Ernesto Suarez, CEO at Glassity

Details for this session are being finalized. Description coming soon.

Moin Moin!

The next Cloud Native and Kubernetes Community meetup is coming up very soon! We will talk about Kubernetes, A Karpenter migration and a different take on IDPs. There will be drinks, food, great talks and afterward time to socialize and catch up!

MENU:

• 1st Talk (30min): Spot-Only Karpenter: What Breaks at 3AM by Tobias Scholz, Platform Engineer and Chaos Monkey at Freenow by Lift
• 2nd Talk (30min): Forget Portals: Headless, Intent-Driven Platforms by Hossein Salahi, Tech Lead at Liquid Reply

TALK 1: Spot-Only Karpenter: What Breaks at 3AM
Running Karpenter 100% on spot keeps our bill low but in the previous months waves of spot terminations put that strategy to the test. We will walk through our migration from kOps and Cluster Autoscaler to EKS and Karpenter, the rough edges we hit along the way, the newer options Karpenter now offers to influence spot behavior and what it really takes to keep services stable on spot-only infrastructure.

TALK 2: Forget Portals: Headless, Intent-Driven Platforms
This talk challenges the ecosystem's reliance on monolithic developer portals. To cure GUI fatigue, it offers a vendor-agnostic blueprint for headless IDPs. By demonstrating how the MCP connects natural developer workflows directly to platform APIs, we equip teams to build leaner, intent-driven platforms.

Two thought-provoking talks on team ownership and the evolving role of operations, two experienced speakers from the Swiss DevOps community, and plenty of networking opportunity. We are very much looking forward to kicking off the autumn season of DevOps Meetup Zurich.
Here's what's planned for the evening:
17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks
18:00 - 18:45 - The Caretaker Model: Take over responsibility from idea to feedback by Urs Enzler
18:45 - 19:30 - Has SRE Become a New Ops? by Oleg Mayko
19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks*

The Caretaker Model: Take over responsibility from idea to feedback
The Agile Software Development Manifesto calls for finding better ways to develop software.
We left Scrum behind because, among other things, we learned faster than the sprint was long, and the sprint blocked us more than it supported us. We needed a more adaptive approach that focuses on feedback.

We found a way of working that better supports us by separating the cycles for planning, improvement, retrospectives, delivery, and feedback. And the opportunity for every team member to contribute from start to finish has greatly increased team motivation. Finally, focusing on flow allowed us to reduce synchronisation points, such as meetings and handovers, and to gain significant efficiency. This is the Caretaker Model.

In this presentation, I explain how the Caretaker Model works, why it suits us much better, and why it might suit you and your team as well.

Has SRE Become a New Ops?
Google set the bar high, but we have seen in the industry that SRE practices have often been misused, and many organizations just rebrand DevOps teams into SRE teams. In this talk, Oleg briefly walks through the history of SRE, why many have seen a silver bullet in it, and possible causes why many people think that SRE is just modern Ops.

Oleg Mayko
Senior System Engineer @ Swisscom
