## About

Building Startup Infrastructure Without the Complexity.
Building a startup is hard enough. Your cloud infrastructure shouldn't make it harder. Join UpCloud's Solution Architects for a practical technical session on how to design and build cloud infrastructure that takes you from MVP to production and beyond, without overengineering, unpredictable costs, or vendor lock-in. We'll walk through real-world architecture patterns, common infrastructure mistakes, and practical approaches to building scalable, secure, and sovereign applications. Expect architecture walkthroughs, a live technical demo, and an interactive Q&A.
Speakers:
Ivan Pranjic & Samu Saarniluoto, Solution Architects at UpCloud
This session is especially relevant for startup CTOs, technical co-founders, lead developers, platform engineers, and anyone responsible for building or scaling cloud infrastructure.
