About

Atmosphere is a conference dedicated to companies which rapidly develop their services on the Web. Most of them have a common goal – pages need to load quickly and optimally, services are to be available and reliable. When you look at a web page as a combination of business components, programming and server maintenance it turns out that the correct functioning of the service is not easy. Constantly changing features require the cooperation of developers, IT operations and management staff described as a DevOps processes. Increasing volume of traffic implies a refinement of systems architecture allowing for sustainable performance and scalability.

 

The Atmosphere conference aims to answer the questions on how to develop, deploy and maintain rapidly growing systems for both existing and new platforms.

 

Attending a conference is a professionally rewarding experience. The conference aims to become a meeting point for representatives of four departments: project management, DevOps, programming and IT operations.

 

The conference is organized by the Proidea Foundation with a cooperation of the main conference partner, Allegro Group.

Atmosphere Conference is not only interesting lectures, but also great After Party, which will be held in SPOT The evening meeting begins on the 13th of May, after the first day of the conference, at 21:00.

Many Polish web sites (government, banks or trading portals) were recently taken offline in DDOS attacks. This is why we decided to talk about this issue during Atmosphere 2013.

 

Douglas Crockford’s book “Javascript: The Good Parts,” is one of the best selling javascript books of all time and is only 176 pages long. For most developers, there’s an tacit belief that the rest of Javascript falls under “bad,” especially when comparing that to the 900 pages of “Javascript: The Definitive Guide” There are websites dedicated to these list of language mis-features and anti-patterns, and dozens of blog posts about how to avoid the “bad” in your own code.

Most internet applications grow the same way, and hit the same kinds of problems at the same places on the growth curve. This leads to similar solutions, and so on. For a lot of folks, getting a view into the likely traps, pitfalls, and the shape of good solutions just over the horizon can be very helpful.
