Christoph's session

Don't feel like updating hundreds of microservices by hand to get rid of all the vulnerabilities?

Is "Renovate Bot" not enough for you? We go one step further, make code changes with OpenRewrite and share our experiences from real projects.

Philip - Co-Founder of Glasskube

Philip holds a Bachelor's degree in computer science and economics from the Vienna University of Technology and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering.

In 2024 Philip co founded Glasskube, an Open Source Developer Tooling company that maintains among other projects an Open Source Package Manager for Kubernetes with over 3.000 stars on Github.

Philip's session

One year ago, we released the first version of Glasskube, an open-source package manager for Kubernetes. In this talk, we’ll reflect on the lessons learned throughout this journey, from technical challenges to community engagement and adoption. We’ll explore how Glasskube has grown, the role contributors have played, and its adoption within real-world use cases. Additionally, we’ll discuss how Glasskube fits into the existing tooling landscape commonly used by DevOps teams, highlighting its interoperability with other solutions. Finally, we’ll share our vision for the future of the project and the next steps on our roadmap.
