🎤 New speaker announcement!

We are super happy to announce our next speaker: Greg Qualls (@gregqualls), Platform.sh will present "Break Things Fast: Accelerated QA and Testing with Upsun":

"In the fast-paced world of development, the ability to test and iterate quickly is paramount. This talk explores how Upsun empowers developers to "break things fast" by providing full-stack preview environments that can be spun up on demand, mirroring production settings without the risks associated with traditional cloning methods. Learn how to leverage these transient environments for rapid QA, experimentation, profiling, load testing, and debugging.

Upsun is a cloud application platform that empowers developers to build, deploy, and manage applications with greater flexibility and efficiency. It offers advanced resource and container management, allowing teams to dynamically allocate computing resources and customize container configurations to meet the specific needs of their applications."
