The group was founded in 2015 as a place for like-minded DevOps professionals to gather, network, exchange ideas, and share war stories. The group quickly grew to thousands of members, and has since evolved, offering opportunities for networking, educational workshops, expert speakers, and peer stories/best practices. I am leading and organizing the local gatherings in Berlin together with the respective sponsors.
