**Join us for an inspiring evening of innovation, insight, and complimentary food and drinks!**

We’ll explore how to design and run mission-critical data systems built for today’s AI-driven era. This isn’t just theory — it’s a deep dive into the architectural decisions that power blazing speed, massive capacity, and sustainable performance at scale.

**Come for the knowledge, stay for the conversations — and enjoy food and drinks while you’re at it!**

We’ll bring together experts from Aerospike, BSV Association, Riskified, and AWS to share real-world stories and technical insights on balancing speed and scale, powering 24/7 fraud prevention systems, and unlocking performance with AWS Graviton.

**What you’ll learn:**

* How to balance RAM and disk to optimize high-performance data systems for real-time scale.
* Strategies Riskified used to ensure scalability, stability, and performance in a 24/7 mission-critical application.
* How AWS innovations like Nitro and Graviton are reshaping compute architectures to deliver higher efficiency and security.

Whether you’re a data engineer, architect, or developer, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas on how to build systems that are fast, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective.

Stick around after the talks for drinks and networking with peers, speakers, and industry leaders.

**Agenda:**

**17:30-18:00** **-** **Welcome drinks and networking**

**18:00-18:15 - Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale**
*Evelina Bern\, Regional Lead \| Nordics & Benelux\, Aerospike*
In high-performance data systems, balancing RAM and disk is key to real-time performance at scale. This session explores the technical nuances of database architecture in today’s AI-driven era, where workloads demand low latency, massive scale, and adaptive infrastructure. Drawing on real-world, mission-critical systems, we’ll show how to achieve the right mix of speed, scale, cost-efficiency, and reliability - designing architectures that meet today’s real-time demands while staying sustainable and affordable.

**18:15-18:45 - Scaling a blockchain to 1M tps**
*Siggi Óskarsson, CTO, BSV Association*
Scaling blockchains beyond today's perceived limits requires rethinking core node architecture. In this session, we'll share how the BSV Association designed and built Teranode - a next-generation blockchain node, that pushes throughput to over one million transactions per second on a test network. We'll explore the technical breakthroughs, architectural decisions, and lessons learned in engineering a system that redefines what's possible for real-time, massively scalable data infrastructure.

**18:45-19:15 - Unlocking scalability and performance with Aerospike & AWS Graviton**
*Dotan Mor, Data Engineer at Riskified*
In this presentation we will discuss Riskified's journey in tackling complex challenges to achieve performance, scale, and stability in a mission-critical 24/7 fraud prevention application. We will delve into the problems we faced, our solutions, and the critical role technology plays in ensuring continuous operation and accuracy.

**19:15-19:45 - Architecting for success with AWS EC2 Graviton Instances**
*Nati Cohen, Sr. Specialist Solutions Architect, Core Compute, AWS*
AWS customers launch tens of billions of EC2 instances yearly, choosing from an expanding selection of compute, storage, memory, and networking options. This session reveals how innovations like the Nitro system and Graviton CPUs offload tasks to hardware, delivering improved performance and security. You'll discover how these technologies transform what was once impossible into reality for your workloads.

**19:45-20:30 - Networking**
