The annual AutoRABIT conference came to the capital of the Peach State for three days of expert-led discussions, hands-on demos, and incredible networking events.
We know not everyone could make it, so we wanted to take a moment to look back at what was covered and catch you up, in case you weren’t there with us.
May 13, Day One
Day one of Dev(H)Ops Live 2025 delivered a powerful message: directing your DevOps efforts effectively requires more than just the right tools—it starts with people, process, and purpose. Two standout sessions from AutoRABIT explored the human impact on DevOps success and offered practical strategies to ensure releases are both safe and streamlined.
The first session challenged attendees to rethink their reliance on tools by highlighting the critical role of team mindset and culture. From debunking the myth of the “easy button” to fostering continuous improvement, it emphasized how resilient, data-driven teams form the foundation of scalable, effective DevOps.
Next, AutoRABIT experts led an immersive workshop focused on building faster, safer pipelines. With deep dives into planning, QA integration, and process refinement, attendees walked away with real-world strategies to elevate their DevOps maturity through actionable, people-first practices.
We capped off the day with a happy hour at DSW Distillery, just a short walk from the venue. Drinks and laughter were shared as everyone recapped the day and looked ahead to day two.
May 14, Day Two
The most action-packed day of the conference began with opening remarks from AutoRABIT CEO Meredith Bell, setting the tone for a day full of insight and inspiration.
The AutoRABIT product team highlighted what our DevSecOps solutions empower users to do today—and gave an exciting sneak peek into what’s coming next.
Presentations followed from representatives of Amazon Web Services, Wintrust Financial Corporation, and an independent security researcher. They explored critical topics such as the impact of emerging generative AI tools, how to build a reliable DevOps strategy, and the lessons learned from Salesforce community site data leaks—and how to prevent such catastrophic scenarios.
After a short break, breakout sessions gave smaller groups the opportunity to dive deep into safeguarding data at entry points, leveraging nCino to protect financial information, understanding the role of AI in cybersecurity, and taking a comprehensive walk-through of our latest innovation, AutoRABIT Guard.
We also heard how one industry leader shifted security left in their development lifecycle using static code analysis to catch issues early and deliver a stronger customer experience. Attendees left with actionable insights to strengthen their DevSecOps strategies and drive innovation on the Salesforce platform.
The sessions concluded with a live Q&A from the day’s speakers, giving attendees the chance to ask questions, clarify key points, and get the most out of each opportunity.
Wednesday night wrapped up in style with an unforgettable party on the pool deck overlooking the Braves vs. Nationals game at Truist Park.
May 15, Day Three
The final day kicked off with a look at how artificial intelligence is shaping platform engineering—and how teams can prepare to harness this technology safely and effectively.
Security experts with White House experience hosted a fireside chat on the current threat landscape, sharing what organizations should be most concerned about and how to better protect sensitive data.
An IBM expert then walked us through scaling static code analysis and shared best practices from his years in the field. Whether just getting started or managing an enterprise-grade implementation, attendees walked away with valuable insights.
Next, we explored how DORA metrics can be used to measure and drive DevOps performance. A speaker from T. Rowe Price shared how to build a consistently high-performing team and outlined steps leaders can take to ensure success.
The final day wrapped up with a closing session from Meredith Bell, reflecting on the insights, energy, and collaboration of the past three days.
Our annual conference is always a highlight, but this year far exceeded expectations. The location was fantastic, the speakers were outstanding, and the social events made it all unforgettable.
We hope everyone had as much fun as we did—and we can’t wait to see you next time!
