This is a group of professionals (and hackers), managers, engineers (both dev and ops) and entrepreneurs coming together to learn about and share information on DevOps practices.

Chefs getting together to cook the whole infrastructure. No chefs will be eliminated during the cook-offs.

We are the technical folks at 1871. We're here to share ideas, code, questions, disaster porn and strong drinks. All 1871 members who touch code or infrastructure are welcome to join. Our startups live and die by our ability to build solutions quickly across a large surface area of problems. When you find yourself outside familiar territory, you want a trusted group of colleagues to turn to. When things blow up, you want someone to tell you how they blew up worse and survived. Let's build that.
