What we’re about
### xStack
(pronounced "cross-stack")
Where curious engineers go to level‑up.
### What we do
Every session spotlights an engineer who has wrestled with a truly hard problem—massive scale, brutal latency targets, petabyte data flows, gnarly cross‑language integrations. They walk us through the real architecture, trade‑offs, failures, and the final win. Slides are optional; diagrams, logs, and code snippets are mandatory.
### Why you’ll love it
- No fluff, all guts – war stories and technical deep dives, not marketing decks.
- Language‑agnostic – Java, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Elixir, C++…the stack is the star, not the language.
- Learn at any level – new devs get a front‑row seat to expert thinking; seasoned pros trade fresh tactics.
- Ask‑me‑anything – extended Q&A and whiteboard time after every talk.
- Community you actually want – swap ideas over snacks & drinks, meet collaborators, find mentors.
### Who should attend
Software engineers, SREs, data engineers, architects—anyone who enjoys peeling back the layers of complex systems.
### When & where
Once a month at Galvanize (Boulder/Denver). Doors at 6 pm, talk at 6 : 30, networking to follow.
Bring your toughest scaling question, your laptop (optional), and your curiosity.
