In this session, Alexey will take a deep dive into how large language models are trained, fine-tuned, and served, with a focus on the data pipelines and architectures that make it all work. You’ll see live demos of ClickHouse tackling massive AI-scale datasets in real time, along with performance benchmarks that reveal just how far you can push the engine.

Ask him about speed, or CI, go on... we dare you! **🎤 Session Details: Speed as a Feature: Markethac's Journey from BigQuery to ClickHouse** Every e-commerce insight starts with a question — but when your data grows faster than your queries can run, the answers stop coming in time. In this session, Adhitya will walk through how Markethac migrated its analytics stack from BigQuery to ClickHouse to meet the real-time demands of Indonesian e-commerce intelligence at scale. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the architecture decisions, ingestion pipeline design, and optimizations that made the migration work — along with live demo showing the performance gap between the two engines on real marketplace data. If you're sitting on a growing analytical workload and wondering whether your current warehouse can keep up — this one's for you. **Speaker: Adhitya Cahyadi, Business Director @ Markethac** Adhitya Cahyadi is the Business Director and Chief of Product at Markethac, an e-commerce intelligence platform built for the Indonesian and Southeast Asian market.

👋 **Hei, kamu yang percaya hal besar selalu dimulai dari obrolan kecil...** ​ Nggak ada komunitas yang langsung besar dan kuat. Semuanya mulai dari beberapa orang yang mau duduk bareng, ngobrol jujur, dan sepakat untuk saling jaga. Persis kayak yang kita mulai di sini. ☕ ​Dan kalau fondasinya udah bener dari awal, krisis sebesar apapun nggak akan mudah ngegoyahin. 🪨 ​Di meetup kali ini, kita akan ngobrol santai tentang bagaimana komunitas bisa menjadi fondasi penting dalam membangun ekosistem Bitcoin yang kuat dan tahan krisis. Karena di balik teknologi yang hebat, selalu ada orang-orang yang saling belajar, saling berbagi perspektif, dan saling menguatkan. ​Lewat diskusi ringan di meja kopi, kita bakal membahas bagaimana komunitas bisa menjadi ruang untuk bertukar ide, memperluas wawasan, dan menjaga semangat kolaborasi di tengah situasi ekonomi yang sering berubah. Dari percakapan kecil, sering kali muncul pemahaman besar. 💡 ​Jadi kalau kamu ingin ngobrol, bertukar pikiran, atau sekadar mendengar sudut pandang baru tentang Bitcoin dan komunitasnya, tempat ini terbuka buat kamu. ​🧡 Karena kadang perjalanan memahami Bitcoin jadi lebih bermakna ketika dijalani bersama. Sampai jumpa di meetup! 📌 Info Penting:🔸 **Tiket GRATIS**! Tapi peserta diwajibkan membeli makan/minum sendiri selama acara🔸 Tidak ada promosi **altcoin**, **NFT**, atau **token kripto** lainnya🔸 Hanya membahas **Bitcoin** — teknologi, nilai, dan dampaknya bagi dunia 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠[ Bitcoin Indonesia](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21) adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk:🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman tentang **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** melalui edukasi netral📚 Menyediakan konten **open-source** yang bisa digunakan siapa pun, gratis 📲 **Telegram**:[ ](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)**[t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** 📸 **Instagram**:[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)**[@bitcoinindo21](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)** 🌐 **Website**:[ www.](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**[bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**
