Backend Meetup Slovenia: eBPF and Scaling to 8M+ RPS!

📅 Date: 2nd October | ⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Location: Dunajska cesta 5, 1000 Ljubljana | 3rd floor (Teads office)
🎟 Admission: Free | In-person event only!

Join us at the Backend Meetup event, where we will host two experienced engineers 🚀

🔹 What’s happening?
We’ll hear from Matic Žgur, Staff Engineer at Teads, and Teodor Podobnik, SRE at Prewave, as they dive into two interesting backend topics:

• Engineering for Extreme Scale: Our Bidding Service's Journey to 8M RPS by Matic Žgur

• Join us for a deep dive into the engineering challenges and solutions behind scaling a high-throughput real-time bidding service. This talk will explore the architectural decisions and optimization techniques that enabled us to process over 8 million requests per second with an average response time of under 100 milliseconds.

• Runtime Security in GitHub Actions using eBPF by Teodor Podobnik

• This talk shows how eBPF can be used to enforce runtime security in GitHub Actions by restricting network egress. We’ll explore how to observe and control outbound connections during CI/CD runs, reducing the risk of data exfiltration and supply chain attacks.

🔹 Who should attend?
Anyone working with or interested in backend technologies —developers, architects, students, or anyone eager to dive deeper into backend engineering. The sessions will be in English 🇬🇧.
Be part of the launch and help shape the future of the Slovenian Backend Meetup! 🎉
