About This Session
Most backend systems don't fail all at once. They slow down. They accumulate debt. A JOIN here, a replicated data store there, an on-call runbook that quietly doubles in length every quarter — until one day, you're staring down 400 million daily requests on a single endpoint, or watching a production incident drag three engineering teams into a six-hour recovery spiral. This evening is for engineers who've been there — or can see it coming. Join us the night before WeAreDevelopers for cold drinks, Berlin sausages, and two of the most honest production stories you'll hear all week. No ideal-world architecture diagrams. No vendor pitches. Just the real decisions, real trade-offs, and real results from the GetYourGuide engineers who had to fix things while the plane was still flying. Come for the hot takes. Stay for the cold drinks.
