About
DevOpsDays Recife 2026 is the local edition of DevOpsDays, the worldwide series of community-organised technical conferences that began in Ghent, Belgium, in 2009. Run by volunteers from the regional technology scene, it addresses software development, IT operations, site reliability engineering, platform engineering, cloud and security, with a recurring emphasis on the cultural and human side of delivering software. The one-day event is held on 12 December 2026 at UNINASSAU Graças in the Derby district of Recife, Pernambuco, running from morning until early evening. This is the sixth Recife edition, following events in 2019 and every year from 2022 to 2025. The 2026 theme, "Rivers, Bridges and Technology", draws on the waterways and bridges that define the city and frames technology as a way of connecting people and teams. The event website is published in Portuguese, reflecting its regional audience. Participants include developers, operations staff, SRE and platform practitioners, product people and security specialists, and the format mixes talks with discussion, workshops and informal networking. Attendees leave with practical approaches to automation and platform work as well as new professional contacts. For the DevOps community in Brazil's Northeast, the event provides a recurring local forum for sharing experience close to home.

Planning your trip to Recife
Contains sponsored linksDevOpsDays Recife 2026 runs as a single day on 12 December at UNINASSAU's Graças campus, in the Derby area close to the city's central canals and rivers. December is summer in Pernambuco and falls in the drier part of the year, so expect hot, humid days around 30 degrees Celsius with strong sun and sea breezes. Recife's distinguishing hook is its layered history: Dutch colonial rule, the first synagogue in the Americas and a waterfront old town built on islands linked by bridges.
Getting there & around
Recife/Guararapes–Gilberto Freyre International Airport (REC) lies in the south of the city, near Boa Viagem. The Recife metro has an Aeroporto station connecting toward the centre, though most visitors use taxis or ride-hailing apps, which reach the Derby and Graças area in roughly 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, and use official taxi ranks or app pickups at the terminal.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile coverage in Recife is good, and Brazilian apps for rides, delivery and payments all assume you have data. An eSIM set up before arrival saves you from registering a local SIM with a CPF tax number. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Recife Antigo and Rua do Bom Jesus. The old town island holds colourful colonial facades along Rua do Bom Jesus and the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue museum, reconstructed on the site of the first synagogue in the Americas. Plan a morning or late afternoon visit of two to three hours, and check opening hours since some cultural sites close on Mondays.
Olinda historic centre. About 30 minutes north by car, Olinda is a UNESCO World Heritage hill town of baroque churches, convents and artists' studios with views back over Recife. Go early to avoid midday heat, wear comfortable shoes for steep cobbled lanes and allow half a day. Local guides at the top of the town offer walking tours.
Instituto Ricardo Brennand. Set in parkland in the western Várzea district, this private cultural institute houses a mock-medieval castle with arms and armour, a large collection of Dutch-period paintings of Brazil and a library. Allow two to three hours plus travel time, and confirm opening days before you go.
Boa Viagem beach. The long urban beach near the airport is lined with a busy promenade, kiosks selling coconut water and weekend street life. Swimming is restricted in marked areas because of documented shark incidents, so follow the warning signs and stay inside the reef-protected pools at low tide. Late afternoon walks are the most pleasant.
Good to know
Is it safe to swim at Boa Viagem beach?
Swim only where local signage allows and preferably in the shallow reef pools at low tide. Recife has a history of shark incidents, and lifeguards and signs mark the zones to avoid.
Do I need a car in Recife?
No. Ride-hailing apps and taxis cover the city and the trip to Olinda easily, and parking in central Recife can be difficult.
What payment methods work in Recife?
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and locals often pay with Pix, Brazil's instant payment system, which generally requires a Brazilian bank account. Keep some reais in cash for beach kiosks and street vendors.
