Every interaction with our customers, partners, and employees is special – but this year’s PagerDuty Summit went far beyond my wildest dreams. Together we committed to helping you learn and grow in how you manage business critical operations – in other words, getting you ready for anything in a world of Digital Everything.

Kubecon EU returned to Spain. This time to Valencia, city of paella and horchata and, of course, a great place for big events. We had a great time meeting you all in person, and attending the talks. Here are our hot takes from the event. The main event started on Wednesday, but before that different co-located events took place: Ebpf Day, Cloud Native SecurityCon, and PrometheusDay among others. These events gathered a large number of attendees.

Knowledge has been a fantastic time of keynote sessions, fireside chats, roundtables, and demos. We were excited to be able to bring people together again to four live, in-person events—in New York City, The Hague, Las Vegas, and Sydney—as well as provide a digital experience for those unable to make it to a live event.

Last week hundreds of community leaders, customers, and partners gathered in San Diego for the first stop of JFrog’s multi-city swampUp world tour! It was my first in-person swampUP and I can’t tell you how invigorating it was to see everyone back together, in-person again. As I was walking the halls and sitting in on the keynote sessions, I felt like I was at a big reunion of old colleagues and friends who have not seen each other in years.

After two years of virtual editions, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe returned as a hybrid event, with its in-person portion held in Valencia, Spain, from May 16-20. As platinum sponsors of this year’s conference, Datadog held a booth where we showcased the latest updates to our Kubernetes monitoring solution, including the new Kubernetes resources overview, improved OpenTelemetry support, and the latest version of the Datadog Operator for Kubernetes.

We had a fantastic time at the Kafka Summit in London this year. It was so great to be meeting everyone face to face again after such a long break. It was interesting to see how people had progressed with their Kafka implementations. At the 2019 event people were just getting started trying out Kafka in small test environments but no one had enough production experience to know understand their needs for management at scale and production support.

SCOMathon 2022, hosted by SquaredUp and Cookdown on May 10, delivered massive SCOM content packed into 21 sessions, 3 keynotes, and 3 panel discussions. The Microsoft SCOM team, MVPs, experts, and customers discussed all things SCOM, including the latest updates, best practice tips, specific use case scenarios, and lessons learned during their SCOM migrations. 245 attendees joined the sessions to learn and chat with their peers. As every year, a donation is made based on participants per session.

We all had an amazing time at Dell World last week in Las Vegas. And our very own VP of Global Solutions, Raj Patnam, wanted to share a few things he learned while there. Here’s a few of his key takeaways.
