stackconf online 2021
as the organisers put it
stackconf is about open source infrastructure in the spectrum of CI/CD, container, hybrid and cloud solutions. Bridging the gap between development, testing and operations is one of the fundamental paradigms in modern IT. stackconf covers these concepts from multiple perspectives.
