The [SRECon APAC 2023](https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon23apac), hosted in Singapore, and organized by USENix served as a splendid platform for site reliability engineers to discover industry-leading trends and best practices. The conference's agenda boasted an array of intriguing discussions encompassing site reliability, systems engineering, and managing intricate distributed systems at scale.

[Last9](https://last9.io/) had the pleasure of being a Silver sponsor at the event. We enjoyed discussing observability and how we help customers reduce their metrics TCO by 50% with [Last9](https://last9.io/metrics/) - our time series metrics warehouse.

As a part of the exhibiting team at this conference, my commitments to [our booth](https://twitter.com/last9io/status/1668785811985424384?s=20) kept me from attending many of the enlightening talks and presentations. Nevertheless, I eagerly anticipate experiencing these sessions once the recordings are made available.

Here are some of the sessions that particularly piqued my interest:
