Frontier

Three days on the parts of building software nobody writes conference talks about: maintenance, migration and the long middle of a product.

Early-bird pricing ends 30 June

A conference for the people who stay

Frontier is for engineers, designers and the people who lead them: the ones who inherited the codebase, own the migration, and have to keep it running while it changes underneath them.

Single track in the morning, workshops in the afternoon, and enough unscheduled time to actually talk to somebody.
