CipherStash helps Python devs encrypt sensitive data, without sacrificing performance or usability. With CipherStash you can index and search encrypted data in PostgreSQL with SQL.

CipherStash Proxy is a transparent proxy that sits between your Python application and your PostgreSQL database and handles the encryption and decryption of data.

CipherStash for DynamoDB provides a simple interface for storing and retrieving encrypted data in DynamoDB.

Encryption in use keeps data encrypted even while it’s queried in the database, plus it’s blazing fast and easy to use.

Acorn is not your normal LMS or LXP. We are rethinking corporate learning and performance technology because learning and performance initiatives have failed.

Organizations are bogged down by smart people not operating at their full potential. Acorn is pioneering the Performance Learning Management System (PLMS) so that learners know how to be successful in their roles and leaders can have productive performance conversations with an accurate development plan.

Acorn eliminates unmanageable competency spreadsheets and ensures content adoption with our proprietary AI-driven library of over 600 capabilities and 1600+ competencies.

The platform enables ongoing performance evaluation and feedback loops through various capability assessments and gap analyses. We also recommend content for learners based on their defined capabilities, autonomously creating personalized development plans for all learners.

Acorn PLMS envisions a world where leaders have objective and productive conversations about performance, learners see what they need to have an impact, and organizations support every learner with a development plan from day one.

At Elastic, we see endless possibilities in a world of endless data. We help people and organizations turn that possibility into results with the power of Search AI. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to accelerate the results that matter. With search, observability, security, and generative AI solutions, we help people find what they need faster, keep mission-critical applications running smoothly, and protect against cyber threats. Wherever and however our customers put Elastic to work, we help them search, solve, and succeed — in real time, at scale, and on a single platform. That’s the power of Elastic.

Google believes that open source is good for everyone. By being open and freely available, it enables and encourages collaboration and the development of technology.

PyCon AU gratefully acknowledges additional support from Google’s Open Source Programs Office towards our Financial Aid program.

We bring our experience to your purpose. Ikigai Technology supports clients in delivering projects touching identity solutions, software delivery, security, payments and compliance.

Multitudes guides engineering teams to become happier and higher-performing with data-driven insights. We pull data from tools like GitHub, Jira, PagerDuty, and Google Calendar to surface what’s holding back your engineering team. With research-backed metrics covering DORA, SPACE, and DevEx, we detect what work is blocked, who’s at risk of burnout, and more. Then our Slack nudges hook into the team’s daily workflow to make it easier for teams to take action and, ultimately, deliver more value.
