Q1 TLVCommunity Winter Blitz!
We’re super excited to host the Q1 TLVCommunity Winter Blitz at Aerospike.
JoinJoin us for an evening packed with great people, strong tech content, and plenty of good vibes. Come curious, come hungry, and come ready to connect with fellow engineers from the local community.
## AGENDA (more updates coming soon):
🍻🍉 17:30 - Gathering, Chats & Bites
🎙️ 18:00 - Databases at the Crossroads of Scale, Real-Time, and AI
Zohar Elkayam Principle Solutions Architect, Aerospike
Modern systems increasingly operate at the intersection of real-time data access, large-scale workloads, and AI-driven applications, yet architectures are still built on database choices designed for different requirements. This session explores the technical trade-offs that determine whether a database meets production demands.
We’ll break down architectural dimensions that are often oversimplified: consistency models (eventual vs. strong and their latency impact), scalability approaches (vertical vs. horizontal, single vs. multi-region), data access patterns (key-value, document, graph), and durability and replication trade-offs (synchronous vs. asynchronous). We’ll look at how AI and ML inference pipelines increase pressure on tail latency, throughput predictability, and operational isolation.
Rather than advocating a specific technology, the talk presents a vendor-neutral framework for evaluating database architectures against real workload characteristics. Using real-world migration lessons, we’ll highlight common anti-patterns and show how better alignment between database design, access patterns, and SLAs can improve performance, resilience, and engineering efficiency.

18:20 - Why AI Code Breaks in Production: The Platform Problem Nobody Talks About
Ramiro Berrelleza, CEO and Founder, Okteto
AI-powered coding assistants and autonomous agents are rapidly becoming part of the modern software development workflow. Yet many teams struggle to trust the code these systems produce, especially in complex, distributed, enterprise environments.
In this talk, we explore why trust in AI-generated code is shaped as much by the execution environment as by the model itself. Drawing from real-world experience and the “three pillars of trust” for AI in software development, we argue that realistic, production-like environments are essential for both developers and AI agents to deliver high-quality results.
Attendees will learn how introducing ephemeral, fully representative environments into the GenAI development loop dramatically improves code correctness, system understanding, and deployment confidence, unlocking the full potential of AI-assisted development without sacrificing quality, reliability, or speed.
18:40 - Stop Paying for Noise: Designing Lossless Log Reduction at the Source
Gil Mazuz, CEO and Co-Founder, Aditty
Log volumes are exploding, costs are unbounded, and sampling breaks trust. This talk explores how to reduce log volume by 80–95% without losing the ability to search for any trace, user, or error, by applying source-side, lossless design principles to production logging systems.
Log pipelines today optimize after the bill arrives. Sampling drops data irreversibly. Index caps hide failures. Engineers are left blind during incidents.
This talk reframes logs as a signal system rather than a raw data firehose, and explores how to design logging pipelines that preserve safety while controlling cost.
LIGHTNING TALKS (20 MINUTES)
19:10 - DevOps Origin- The Anime Adventure (10 Minutes)
Sitar Gold, DevOps Engineer & Podcaster + Content Creator
In this session, I’ll share my journey from IT engineer to DevOps, framed as an anime-inspired adventure. Just like in the best anime series, landing my DevOps job marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of the real journey. Through practical experience, mentorship, and overcoming misconceptions, I’ll highlight the key lessons that shaped my path and how others can level up in DevOps. Whether you're a junior or senior, this talk offers insights into making the switch and growing in the field.
🥳 19:30 - More Community Mingling and Fun
