Failover Conf Returns With Live Sessions

Failover Conf is trading pre-recorded talks for a more interactive format this year. The one-day virtual event, scheduled for April 27 from 9am – 3:30pm PDT, will feature live fireside chats and keynotes where attendees can ask questions in real time. Two panel discussions with industry experts are also on the agenda. For breaks, the conference offers breakout rooms with cartoons and music, where participants can socialize or simply unwind.

Registration is open now.

Engineering Opportunities

Several companies are actively hiring for infrastructure and development roles:

Kinsta is looking for a DevOps Engineer to keep its managed hosting platform on the cutting edge. The role involves working with Linux, PHP, and technologies like Ansible and LXC to maintain stable, high-performance infrastructure.
Kinsta is also hiring a SysOps Engineer to monitor server health and respond to infrastructure issues. Candidates should have experience with hosting, the WordPress stack, Ubuntu or Debian-based systems, and tools such as Ansible and LXC.
Kinsta's development team is seeking a JavaScript Developer to build solutions for customers and internal teams, with a focus on quality code in a collaborative environment.
Triplebyte offers a centralized technical assessment that lets engineers skip screening at companies like Apple, Dropbox, Mixpanel, and Instacart. Its quiz covers system design and coding, aiming to make the job search O(1) instead of O(n).
InterviewCamp.io provides hours of system design content, plus live weekly system design discussions, breaking down interview prep into core building blocks.

Developer Tools and Services

A range of products and services are available to help with security, data management, and application architecture:

Bridgecrew positions itself as a cloud security platform built for developers. It uses automation and a security-as-code approach so teams can find, fix, and prevent misconfigurations in both deployed cloud resources and infrastructure as code. There is a free tier to get started.
IP2Location has provided IP address geolocation data since 2002. Its database and API can detect location, proxy usage, and more than 20 other parameters. The service is cited in over 700 research papers and used by many Fortune 500 companies.
For teams looking to shift application security left, StackHawk and Snyk are examples of a newer breed of tools that integrate security bug testing directly into CI pipelines, letting developers take ownership of AppSec.
FaunaDB aims to add state to JavaScript applications with minimal hassle, and offers a generous free tier for getting started.
Educative.io's learning path, Scalability and System Design for Developers, covers architecture trade-offs and designing scalable enterprise software. The five-part path includes material from Grokking the System Design Interview and serves over 500,000 learners from top tech companies.
Stream provides APIs for building and scaling news feeds and activity streams. Its service is free up to 3 million feed updates, with client libraries for Node, Ruby, Python, PHP, Go, Java, and .NET. More than 400 companies rely on Stream for production feeds, including apps with 30 million users. The company is also hiring DevOps and Python/Go developers in Amsterdam.
