Beyond the Cluster: Engineering Lessons from 2000-Node Kubernetes at Scale.

Anyone can deploy `Hello World` on a managed cluster. But what happens when your workloads demand exponential growth? What breaks when you hit node #71... or #2000?

Join us at Cloud Native Bucharest for a rare comparative look at Kubernetes production engineering across two very different magnitudes.

The Heavy Hitters:

• The 2000-Node Beast: Iulian Gheorghe (Architect & Co-founder, **Meetgeek.ai**) will pull back the curtain on scaling an AI meeting assistant to thousands of global users. He’ll cover the architectural decisions, failures, and victories of running high-compute AI workloads at massive scale.
• The 70-Node Powerhouse: Bogdan Lucaciu (CTO, Adore Me) joins the stage to share the story of a "30x smaller" but equally critical cluster. He will compare notes on running a high-volume e-commerce platform, highlighting where the challenges overlap with AI infrastructure—and where they diverge entirely.

Agenda:

• 18:00: Welcome & Networking
• 18:30: Beyond the Cluster: Engineering Lessons from Meetgeek.ai
• 19:15: The 71-Node Reality: A Comparative Perspective with Adore Me
• 19:45: Pizza & Q&A: Ask about your own scaling nightmares!

Who is this for? DevOps Engineers, SREs, and Platform Architects who are tired of "happy path" tutorials. Whether you are managing a startup cluster or an enterprise fleet, come see what production engineering really looks like when the traffic hits.
