Speaker: Tom Camp
DevRel Engineer at Ably
Title: Multiplayer Rock, Paper, Scissor

Let’s start the evening with some light fun. We'll play a live, multiplayer game of “Rock, Paper, Scissor” (sorry, no Spock). All you’ll need is your phone and your inner child.
After the game, Tom Camp from Ably will give a quick explainer on the backend used to build the game, and how the same combination can be built for building massively scalable real-time applications with:

• Ably for the real-time pub/sub messaging layer
• Aerospike for holding the true state and processing inputs into outputs
• Kafka for feeding user-specific details to each user

Tom is a DevRel Engineer at Ably. His current interest lies in open real-time data and ways of representing and sharing it. He’s also a member of the Open API and Async API communities which work towards standardizing the specifications and capabilities of APIs.

Title: Unified Messaging & Data Streaming
Utilizing the Open-Source FLiP Stack we can track aircraft overhead with ease! It does require a little bit of hardware and some Python magic. In this talk, you will learn how to build your own at home with a few bits of hardware and some easy open-source software."

Speaker: Srini Srinivasan
Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Aerospike.
Title: Unlimited Scale Is Not a Number

Aerospike's presentation will share with you our lessons-learned over a decade of experience!
The technology and systems architecture will be the focus of this presentation, along with use-cases demonstrating how the architecture improves real-time SLAs at scale. We will discuss use-cases about how to achieve large-scale real-time data processing in sectors of gaming, finance, telecommunications, e-commerce, advertising and other industries.
We will also discuss the developer APIs and the key capabilities for application development using key-value, document, Spark, Presto (SQL), graph and time series databases.
