Tech Events by Birmingham Digital and DevOps Meetup

Birmingham's digital and DevOps community meets at x+why Foundry on Brindley Place, 17:30 to 20:00, with two talks and pizza. Mark Sawle opens with Reimagining CI/CD, arguing that the field has barely moved in a decade and is still stuck with brittle plugins and complex builds, with no good answer to the question everyone asks mid-incident: what changed. His case is that the real product of CI/CD was never pipeline execution but the knowledge of how code becomes a running service, and no tool holds it. Bukola Jimoh follows on tracing agentic systems, and why observability, evidence and accountability matter once agents are doing the work. Free, pizza and drinks provided. Why go: two sharp, opinionated talks rather than tool demos, from a community that has kept going for years. Best for platform engineers, SREs and engineering managers.

Birmingham's longest-running DevOps and digital technology community returns for its July session at x+why Foundry in Brindley Place. The evening features demos and presentations on DevOps, cloud platforms, digital engineering and emerging tech, followed by informal networking with refreshments. With 1,600+ members and consistent turnout of 100+, this is the go-to technical gathering for Birmingham's digital professionals. Registration required to enter the building.
