What we’re about
🚀 Welcome to Cloud Native Porto 🌆
🌐 Cloud Native Technologies make the world run as they enable organizations to build, run and scale applications suited for all cloud environments. With the creation of the chapter for Cloud Native Porto, we aim to provide our community of developers, engineers, architects, and tech enthusiasts with a place were they can get together and share their passion and knowledge for building scalable, resilient, and modern software systems.
🏛️ Rooted in the dynamic city of Porto, we have as our mission to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation around tools and practices like Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Observability, and the broader Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem.
Whether you're just starting your cloud-native journey or are a seasoned expert, Cloud Native Porto offers a welcoming and inclusive space for learning, networking, and inspiration for all. So the missing piece now is you, to help us grow this community even further.

***### 📅 Agenda:
18:30 – Check-in & welcome 👋
19:00 – 🔍 "What Can We Learn from Formula 1 Incident Management"
🎙 Speaker: Ricardo Castro, Senior Principal Engineer @ Blip / Fanduel
📄 Abstract:
"How can software and SRE teams learn about incident management from Formula 1? This talk will discuss the key takeaways from a real-life incident where Red Bull Racing performed a miraculous repair on Max Verstappen’s car in Hungary, turning a potential disaster into a podium finish.
July 18th 2020, Max Verstappen qualifies 7th for the Hungarian Grand Prix. With Red Bull fighting Mercedes for the Constructor’s championship and Max fighting Lewis Hamilton and Vallteri Bottas for the Driver’s Championship, this wasn’t his best qualifying session.July 19th 2020, during the formation lap, Max crashed his car, damaging his front wing and suspension. In the next 22 minutes, Red Bull mechanics performed an absolute miracle.How did they do it? How did they go from a crashed car to giving Max a chance to fight for a podium in under 23 minutes? And what can we learn about incident management from one of the most demanding engineering disciplines in the world?"19:30 – ⚙️ "A trouble solving agent for your CI"
🎙 Speaker: Nuno Ribeiro - DevOps Engineer @ Critical Techworks
📄 Abstract:
"What if we could containerize our AI agents to solve issues with our PRs?
With Dagger we can containerize an AI agent that can assist failing tests and create a solution to issues, enabling developers to quickly solve issues in CI that block our workflow and the delivery of software."20:00 – ⚙️ "Ephemeral Realities: How Pods Mirror Our Human Journeys in Kubernetes"
🎙 Speaker: Ayobami Ayinde - Senior DevOps Engineer @ Planet
📄 Abstract:
"Kubernetes is well celebrated for many things including its ephemeral Pods—services that magically spin up and shut down gracefully to keep applications running smoothly. But behind every Pod stands a human being navigating their own cycles of growth, transition, and sometimes the need to “terminate” old roles or beliefs. This talk explores the parallels between Kubernetes’ workloads and our hidden emotional landscapes, diving into concepts like work grief, unspoken longings for purpose, and the psychological complexities of leadership and vulnerability."20:30 - 21:30 – 🤝 Networking, Food & Drinks and Giveaways! 🍻
