In early March when the Coronavirus had started to impact us in many different ways, one of which being that tech conferences all over the world was being cancelled or postponed, our good friends over at Gremlin started planning for a virtual conference with the goal of helping everyone maintain a sense of normalcy. This by creating a space where people could still connect, share ideas, and learn from each other. On March 10th Gremlin announced Failover Conf, a conference that could stand for the importance of resilience, and how that extends far beyond our technical systems to how we, as a community, respond.
