🗣️ Big Data, Bigger Lessons
Tilen Kavčič - Senior Software Engineer @ Outfit7

5 billion events a day. 200 million monthly players. Two clouds, one data team.
Tilen will walks us through how Outfit7 built a data platform that had to keep up with one of the world's most-played mobile game portfolios, covering ingestion at scale, pipeline orchestration, the move to dbt, and what it actually means to run a parallel data warehouse on Huawei Cloud for Chinese users.
Practical war stories. No architecture astronauts.

🗣️ Maintainability is a Feeling
Miha Medven – Senior Engineering Manager @ Sportradar

Introducing new technologies into an existing stack is rarely just a technical problem. The real challenge is building confidence: confidence in operability, debugging, scalability, onboarding, and long-term maintenance. This talk explores practical ways to evaluate, introduce, and operationalize new technologies in backend systems without turning your stack into a liability.

👥 Who should come?
Open to developers, engineers, architects, students, and anyone interested in backend technologies.
Expect discussions around scaling systems, introducing new technologies responsibly, operating data platforms in production, and the engineering tradeoffs behind it all.

All sessions will be in English 🇬🇧

See you there 👋
