After the first day of KubeCon, the Salt Lake City cloud-native community traded conference seats for booths, bar stools, and patio tables. Rootly hosted the afterparty with ClickHouse, Mezmo, Tailscale, and Plakar, bringing developers and platform engineers together over food and drinks.

We kept the evening centered on spending time together: a buffet indoors, glasses raised at the bar, and tables outside beside a fire pit. Between shared plates and group photos, the gathering made room for conversations beyond the conference floor.
