The Power of Backports : Business Impact and Automation Strategies - DevConf.CZ 2025

Speaker(s): Jigar Raisinghani

Backporting—the critical process of applying modern security and feature patches to older, stable software—is an absolute necessity in the enterprise world. For any business, the impact is immense; it's the bedrock of security compliance, a driver of massive cost savings, and the promise behind long-term customer support SLAs.

However, the current approach to backporting is fundamentally broken. Relying on manual processes, today's methods are painfully slow, dangerously error-prone, and a constant struggle against code divergence. This reactive model puts businesses on the back foot, always playing catch-up.

The future lies in shifting from defense to offense. This presentation introduces a forward-thinking, automated strategy that transforms backporting from a high-risk chore into a proactive advantage. By leveraging intelligent automation, we can ensure systems are not just patched, but are made more secure and reliable by design. Join us to explore how to get ahead of the curve and build a more resilient software foundation for the future.
