DevBcn 2023

Provisioning Cloud Resources
Crossplane (the project) has matured fast and is ready for its prime time. The Open Source project is a safe bet today. The company behind the project (Upbound) had created impressive momentum bringing collaborations from large companies in the Cloud-Native space to contribute back.

Let's be clear, conferences like KubeCon are as good as those attending. This year in Amsterdam 58% of the people attending (that is 5800 people) were attending for the first time.
