Title: From Legacy to Sovereignty: Driving the Future of Insurance through Platform Engineering
Speaker: Sergiu Petean
Duration: 30-45 mins
Abstract: Join me on a 4-year journey inside the world's largest insurance company, where we tackled the challenges of legacy systems, vendor lock-in and the imperative for rapid innovation. Discover how strategic platform engineering, adaptive DevOps topologies, and bold technology choices enabled us to achieve true innovation sovereignty, driving significant business impact.

Title: CI/CD Rework: From AWS Chaos to GitLab Harmony
Speaker: Eduard Epure
Duration: 30-45 mins
Abstract: In this talk, I’ll walk you through how we replaced a clunky, AWS-native CI/CD setup with a scalable, GitLab-powered pipeline. By leveraging Kubernetes and reusable GitLab templates, we massively boosted scalability, speed, and developer autonomy. The result? Over 25,000 lines of legacy pipeline code gone—replaced by just 1,000 lines of GitLab syntax, streamlining everything from daily merges to full production rollouts.
