DESCRIPTION:Every time a user opens QGIS\, downloads a plugin\, or grabs th
 e latest installer\, a carefully maintained web of infrastructure quietly 
 does its job in the background. But how does that infrastructure keep runn
 ing\, and what does it actually look like at scale?\n\nIn this talk\, we p
 ull back the curtain on the systems that power the QGIS ecosystem. With ov
 er hundreds of terabytes of monthly downloads\, over 100k visits and nearl
 y 30k downloads per day on qgis.org alone\, and close to 2M plugin downloa
 ds monthly through plugins.qgis.org\, the scale of what the community reli
 es on is enormous — and largely invisible to its users.\n\nWe will walk 
 through the key components of this infrastructure: the main website and do
 wnload pipeline backed by an S3 bucket and a network of mirrors\, the plug
 in repository serving the global community\, the feed analytics that provi
 de the news and quietly registers nearly 1M QGIS launches every day\, and 
 the resource-sharing hub at hub.qgis.org. We will also cover supporting se
 rvices including planet.qgis.org\, certification.qgis.org\, members.qgis.o
 rg\, and the emerging user group websites for national communities.\n\nBey
 ond the architecture\, we will share the human side of this work — the d
 ecisions\, the trade-offs\, and the ongoing effort required to keep these 
 services reliable\, secure\, and scalable for a globally distributed open-
 source community.\n\nWhether you are a QGIS contributor\, a user group org
 anizer\, an active user or simply curious about what keeps the ecosystem t
 icking\, this talk offers a behind the scenes look at the foundation every
 thing else is built on.
