Wallarm at NGINX User Summit

Last week we’ve visited the first NGINX User Summit and were lucky to give a lightning talk about Wallarm there. The event took place at Dogpatch Studios in San Francisco and gathered about a hundred people.

It started with a crash course on NGINX fundamentals and continued with an overview of NGINX history and future roadmap by Igor Sysoev, six lightning talks from other participants and Yichun Zhang talking about his experience developing and profiling nginx modules (here are some of them at GitHub).

Really enjoyed meeting some nice people there, Nat Mapple of Acronis, Justin Dorfman of MaxCDN, Shawn Marck of BlackLotus as well as many others. Many thanks MaxCDN who sponsored the happy hour with a great selection of wines and NGINX team for inviting 🙂
