+**The Filesystem Diaries: Scaling Btrfs in an Enterprise**
+
+Btrfs was merged into the Linux kernel in 2009, arriving with bold
+promises—and, let's be honest, a reputation for instability. I first tried it
+on my laptop in 2011. It wiped my data. Twice. On the bright side, it taught me
+the value of backups.
+
+Fast forward to 2025: btrfs is no longer the experimental filesystem of the
+past. It's stable, mature, feature-rich, and fully part of the Linux kernel.
+But old reputations die hard. Even today, Google Cloud Platform doesn’t
+officially support it—not because of technical shortcomings, but because
+customer demand hasn’t pushed the issue.
+
+At Chronosphere, we decided to take a fresh look. After months of evaluation
+and testing, we migrated petabytes of customer data across thousands of disks
+to btrfs. This talk is our story: why we made the leap, what we learned along
+the way, and how we’re helping bring btrfs into wider enterprise
+adoption—including working with Google to support it natively.
+
+I'll share the decision-making process, key performance and reliability
+insights, and the quirks you only discover when running btrfs at scale. Whether
+you're btrfs-curious or just love a good ops tale, you'll walk away with
+real-world takeaways—and maybe a newfound respect for this once-maligned
+filesystem.
+
+If you know what NTFS, ext4, or ZFS are, you’re ready for this journey.
+
+No video, no slides.
