TalosCon 2024

Make it Work

We have 3 conversations from TalosCon 2024:

1. Vincent Behar & Louis Fradin from Ubisoft tell us how how they are building the next generation of game servers on Kubernetes. Recorded in a coffee shop.

2. We catch up with David Flanagan on the AI stack that he had success with in the context of rawkode.academy. David also tells us the full story behind his office burning down earlier this year. Recorded in the hallway track.

3. As for the last conversation, Gerhard finally gets together with Justin Garrison in person. They talked about TalosCon, some of the reasons behind users migrating off Cloud, and why Kubernetes & Talos hold a special place in their minds. Recorded in the workshop cinema room.
