Prod is DOWN!!!

Welcome to Prod is DOWN!!, an engaging event inspired by F*ckup Nights specifically for developers! 💻✨

Have you ever experienced any of the following?

• Accidentally deleted a production database on a Friday afternoon?
• Exposed your LLM endpoints without rate limits and faced a financial shock?
• Forgotten guardrails, resulting in your AI agent being prompted to expose secret keys?

From the same team that brought you RoastMyTechStack, Prod is DOWN!!! offers a fun and casual atmosphere to learn from the blunders of fellow developers.

The Format:

1. Problem Framing: "Oh Sh*t" Moments in ProductionWe'll kick things off with a featured speaker who will share their firsthand experience of a catastrophic outage—the moment when everything went down and panic set in.
   2.Interactive Breakout SessionsAfterwards, we’ll break into smaller groups to explore three key pillars of incident management:
   -**Damage Control:**Strategies for quickly isolating the blast radius and minimizing further impact.
   -**Disaster Recovery:**Best practices for recovering from downtime and managing stakeholders effectively during a crisis.
   -**Guardrails:**Practical approaches and engineering practices to ensure mistakes like these don’t happen again.
   We’ll regroup to share insights with the larger team.
   3.Foreshadowing Problems in the Agentic World
   Finally, we’ll contextualize these lessons for the next wave of technology, discussing how production failures may evolve as we transition to agentic AI systems and what unique risks we need to anticipate.
