OOPS!... It's An Incident Again
"I played with the prod, got lost in the logs, oh, baby, baby..."
A "Humans in the Loop" Happy Hour with PagerDuty & Uptime Labs!
Join PagerDuty and Uptime Labs for a mid-KubeCon break that proves you’re not that innocent: sometimes, it really is the human element that breaks (and fixes) the build.
We’re taking over Amsterdam for an evening dedicated to the unsung heroes of the stack: The Humans in the Loop. While our systems get more complex, the role of the human in incident response has never been more critical. Come trade your real-time operations stories, share your best "oops" moments, and learn how to keep the "human" in your high-availability architecture.
What to expect:
🎤 Lightning Keynotes from PagerDuty and Uptime Labs on why automation is great, but humans are essential
🍻 Sip & Savour: Delicious local bites and refreshing drinks to fuel you through the rest of KubeCon week
🤝 The OOPs Group: Connect with the "Outage and Incident Management" community, because misery loves company, but resilience loves a party.
RSVP now before we reach capacity! (We’d hate to have to rate-limit you)

Uptime Labs is a London-based company that provides a realistic incident response simulation platform designed to help engineering and SRE teams build resilience and confidence. Their platform allows organizations to rehearse high-stakes outage scenarios in a safe, risk-free environment, effectively helping teams develop the "muscle memory" needed to handle real crises. By practicing with lifelike drills that mirror production failures, Uptime Labs aims to reduce Time to Mitigation (TTM) and ensure that responders are better prepared, less stressed, and more consistent in their decision-making during actual incidents.
