About
DevOpsDays Almaty 2026 is the Kazakhstan edition of devopsdays, the worldwide series of community-run conferences for anyone interested in improving how software is built, delivered and operated. Organised by a local volunteer team, the event covers DevOps culture and practice, site reliability engineering, cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, and it is aimed at engineers, operations staff, developers and technology leaders across Central Asia. The conference takes place on Friday, 16 October 2026, at Forum Almaty on Seyfullin Avenue. It is a single-day, in-person event and continues an annual series that has run in the city every year since 2022, making this the fifth Almaty edition. A call for proposals was open for speakers, and the event is supported by sponsors at gold, silver and community tiers, in keeping with the non-commercial devopsdays model. Attendees can expect talks drawn from the regional engineering community on automation, reliability, collaboration and infrastructure, along with time between sessions to exchange experiences with peers facing similar challenges. The devopsdays format traditionally favours open conversation as much as prepared presentations. For Kazakhstan's growing technology sector, the event provides a recurring local forum linking practitioners to the global DevOps movement and its shared body of practice.

Planning your trip to Almaty
Contains sponsored linksDevOpsDays Almaty brings platform engineers and SREs to Kazakhstan's largest city in mid-October, the heart of its celebrated golden autumn. Days are often bright and around 12–16°C, while nights turn cold and the first snow dusts the Trans-Ili Alatau peaks that tower over the southern edge of town. Almaty is green and gridded, with broad avenues lined with poplars, Soviet modernist buildings and a growing café scene. Mountain lakes and ski slopes lie under an hour away.
Getting there & around
Almaty International Airport (ALA) sits roughly 15 km north-east of the centre and has direct links to Istanbul, Dubai, several Asian hubs and many Central Asian cities. Ride-hailing apps such as Yandex Go are the usual way into town, typically 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, and city buses also serve the airport. The compact metro runs along one central corridor, so taxis and walking do most of the work for visitors.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Almaty has strong 4G coverage, and ride-hailing and delivery apps are central to getting around, so reliable data is worth arranging early. An eSIM bought before arrival saves time over queuing for a local SIM, which typically requires passport registration. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Kok-Tobe. A cable car from near the city centre climbs to this hilltop park, which offers sweeping views over Almaty with the mountains behind. Go late afternoon to catch sunset and the city lights. Allow two hours, bring a warm layer for the wind at the top, and expect a relaxed family atmosphere with cafés and viewpoints.
Medeu and Shymbulak. Medeu, the famous high-altitude skating rink, is about 30 minutes up the gorge by car or bus, and a gondola continues to Shymbulak ski resort. In mid-October the lifts give access to crisp alpine scenery before the ski season. Plan half a day and check lift opening times, as autumn maintenance closures happen.
Panfilov Park and Zenkov Cathedral. The colourful wooden Ascension Cathedral stands in the middle of this leafy central park, a short walk from the Green Bazaar. Allow an hour to see the cathedral and war memorial, then continue to the bazaar to sample dried fruit, nuts and local cheeses. Mornings are the liveliest time at the market.
Big Almaty Lake. This turquoise reservoir sits at about 2,500 metres in the mountains south of the city, roughly an hour's drive away. Access rules for the final stretch change periodically, so most visitors go with a local driver or tour. It is chilly in October; bring warm clothes and allow half a day.
Good to know
Do I need a visa for Kazakhstan?
Citizens of many countries, including the EU, UK and US, can currently enter visa-free for short stays. Check the latest rules for your passport before booking.
How cold is Almaty in October?
Daytime temperatures are usually comfortable, but evenings can drop to near freezing and the mountains are much colder, so pack a warm jacket.
Is it easy to pay by card?
Cards and mobile payments are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and taxis, though carrying some tenge in cash helps at markets and small kiosks.
