Code, Content & Community: Daily Life in DevRel

Developer Relations sits at the intersection of technology, content, community, and product. But what does that actually look like beyond the job title?

In this session, we’re going behind the scenes with Saurav, Senior Developer Community Manager at Apify, to understand the real day-to-day work of a DevRel professional.

From building developer communities and creating technical content to organising events, working with open source contributors, collaborating with engineering and product teams, and creating feedback loops between developers and companies, we’ll explore the many sides of DevRel.

Saurav has spent years working across developer communities, open source, advocacy, events, and content, including his previous experience at Amplication and involvement in global developer conferences.

What we'll explore:

• What a typical day in DevRel actually looks like

• How developer communities are built and sustained

• The role of content in developer advocacy

• How DevRel works with product, engineering, marketing, and growth teams

• Turning community feedback into product insights

• Building open source contributor ecosystems

• Measuring the impact and ROI of DevRel

• Lessons from working with global developer communities

• Skills students and aspiring DevRel professionals should develop

This isn't just a conversation about getting into DevRel. It's a practical look at the work, challenges, strategies, and thinking that go into building meaningful relationships between technology companies and their developer communities.

Come with questions. Leave with a clearer picture of what DevRel really looks like.
