Conference Day 1, September 10th

[8:45 a.m.] EveryOps Matters

In this annual swampUP kickoff, JFrog Co-founder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim - alongside a special guest - explores how developers may still start with code and CI, but are increasingly asked to hold the reins of EveryOps; building, securing and delivering alongside the machines and systems they created.

Sound bites from the session

• "Welcome from swampUP 2024, live from Austin, TX!" JFrog CEO and co-founder, Shlomi Ben Haim, has taken the stage for the morning's first keynote presentation, "EveryOps Matters." He mentions we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of swampUP!
• "What they speak about in the boardroom is cost and predictability of cost - can we trust what's coming from the developers all the way to the customer's hands?"
• Shlomi touches on four areas that combine to define the developer's path: cloud/multicloud/hybrid, security, consolidation, and innovation. "You have to listen to what the market is saying."
• He says spending on the public cloud will increase in the coming years, according to a JFrog survey - CIOs expect that 35.4% of IT budget will be spent in the cloud in five years.
• Security projects continue to be the No. 1 priority in 2024. Shlomi mentions a new budget line - AI security and MLSecOps. "People are really stressed."
• "We all want to be innovators - what we've seen with the recent adoption of new technologies is like nothing we've ever seen before. When you think about MLOps, it's the same process as DevOps and DevSecOps, just serving different personas."
• By 2024, most organizations will adopt AI solutions within their security teams. "When innovation knocks on your door, you can't stand there and not open it. You need to embrace it and be ready for what your organization is going through."

• Special guest GitHub CEO, Thomas Dohmke, joins Shlomi via video: "As the volume of code continues to explode, everyone who touches code spends their time in the weeds. [Our integration] enables you to manage code and binaries more efficiently."
• Dohmke adds, "We're bringing the power of JFrog to GitHub Copilot."
• "This is just the beginning," Dohmke says.
