Missed Architect’s Edge Live? Catch the Replay — VCF 9 in Real Life

This wasn’t theory. It was real-world deployment patterns, upgrade experiences, and the gotchas that actually trip people up — all laid out in a fast-paced, candid discussion with the architects and practitioners doing the work every day.
