The Invisible Architects of Your Production
Your code is fine. Your infrastructure is healthy. Yet production says "no".
What if that decision wasn't made by your application, your cloud provider, or your Kubernetes cluster?
Behind every modern system are invisible architects: standards and protocols whose decisions quietly shape production every single day.
Every distributed system relies on invisible contracts defined by standards. These contracts determine how independent systems interoperate, and understanding them often makes the difference between hours of debugging and immediately recognising what's really happening.
This talk encourages engineers to occasionally look beneath the abstraction layer, because our production systems are ultimately governed by standards and the way they are interpreted and implemented.
