Still working through this week’s chaos? Thinking of the teams on incident duty, and hoping your coffee is still warm.
For a different kind of debugging: hands-on workshop with @AloshDenny - shrink an open model, break it on purpose, then build checks to prove it still works.
A blue-green deployment for your wardrobe.
The Rootconf owl comes in two colours. Which one will you deploy: blue or green?

New Rootconf video out.
@rolland_twt explains how @rubrikInc approached cloud cost optimization across ETL pipelines.
Best bit: using cost-per-query to ask, “Are we paying to process data nobody uses?”
“Who wants free LLM keys?”
This hackathon question led @boskykode to start @aigrantsindia
At Fifthel Pune, he shared how AI Grants India has supported 200+ startups, and invited ideas for what comes next.

We are a full house today for our AI Observability Workshop!
Saturday morning kicks off by learning how to instrument applications across RAG to Agentic Workflows , the gotchas and so much more!
Best line: “Faster doesn’t mean it is always better.”
A good weekend watch if your cloud bill has ever needed its own incident review.

The quality of the talks and takeaways from @rootconf has only gone up over time. If you work on platforms or the infra layer powering AI applications, agents, and all the jazzy things — attend this edition.
If you have wartime stories or battle scars from building and operating such systems, consider submitting. Happy to chat and help you refine the submission, content, and final talk (if selected).
Cheers!
Our team is deep into the AI Observability and solving for customers running agents. If you want to know how your agents are behaving attend this workshop. You will get a lot of value from the OG @sphirani
@rootconf has a penchant of giving platform for great talks. The secret behind is the effort @zainabbawa and team puts to improve the quality of the talks with reviews for the speaker. I can personally vouch 😀 .
If you are an engineering leader and want your team to present the amazing work they do, make a submission. Exciting proposals already, go do it https://t.co/BGp5iJbnMA
