@sysdsgn is one of those communities i will always recommend. i have been around since the @sdsaprogram classes, wolvestation days. i remember doing db Internals. even the old yt videos and podcasts still have gems. a lot of my engineering journey has
the folks behind SysConf alone tell you this is going to be good. solid community all round.
for my session, we are going under the hood. you wrote a function and called it, cool. but what actually happens after that? how does that function become work on the CPU? what happens
We’re excited to announce Muutassim Mukhtar (@triplemcoderr), Senior Site Reliability Engineer at MTN (@MTNNG), as a speaker at SysConf 2026!
His talk is titled “Performance Engineering Beyond Dashboards.”
As part of Muutassim’s work at MTN, he has to find, understand and fix reliability and performance bugs in production Kubernetes workloads. And in multiple cases, he’s found metrics and dashboards insufficient. This talk is about how an SRE has used eBPF to profile production workloads, uncovering CPU hotspots, scheduling delays and network bottlenecks.

On Day 2 of SysConf, we're hosting our annual technical leadership panel where we bring experienced engineering leaders to share their wisdom and answer questions. The goal of these sessions is to help engineers learn from people who have built strong engineering careers and have led teams and projects over a sustained period to drive impact.
This year our panel includes Adora Nwodo (@adoranwodo), Emmanuel Obidiegwu, and Emmanuel Igbodudu (@yorexx).
The technical leadership panel will be hosted on Sat, Oct 3rd, 2026, at 2pm WAT by Ayomide Oyekanmi (@_alternatewolf). See you there!

@lanreadelowo if dallas moves Kyrie, it could remove an experienced star/ball handler from around cooper flag and that will create more roster instability while cooper is developing
