## 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.

Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale
The Brain Embassy TLV, 2 D Hashlosha, Building C, 17TH floor, Tel Aviv, id, ILIMPORTANT NOTICE registration is HERE
Join Aerospike, Start.io, and Contentsquare for an evening of deep technical talks and peer-level discussion on the real trade-offs behind operating modern real-time systems in production - where tail latency, throughput predictability, scalability, and cost efficiency are constantly in tension.
This event will move past theory and into hard-earned production lessons: scaling beyond RAM constraints, migrating high-throughput workloads from Redis to Aerospike, designing architectures driven by real cloud cost models, and uncovering the non-obvious pitfalls of migrating real-time systems from AWS to GCP. Topics range from VPC architecture and traffic steering differences to NVMe and local SSD behavior, and why familiar operational playbooks often fail across clouds.
This event is designed for engineers and architects already running latency-sensitive, high-scale systems - where milliseconds matter, growth is relentless, and infrastructure decisions directly impact performance, reliability, and cost.
Agenda17:30 – 18:00 - Welcome drinks & networking
18:00 – 18:10 - Opening Remarks – Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale
Oshrat Ben-Avi Zabludovitz, Israel Country Manager, Aerospike 18:10 – 18:30 - Scaling Past RAM: Architecture Lessons from Our Redis-to-Aerospike Migration
Ilan Huchansky, Data Platform Team Leader, Start. ioAs Start.io scaled, our legacy Redis-based architecture for the user-profiles database reached significant operational limits, particularly during high-traffic periods, node failures, and scaling events. To maintain our strict performance SLAs while reducing operational overhead, we embarked on a search for a more robust, cost-effective NoSQL solution.
In this session, we will share the architectural lessons learned while evaluating the database landscape - including our comparisons with alternatives - and our ultimate migration to Aerospike’s Hybrid Memory Architecture. We’ll discuss how we moved past RAM constraints to achieve sub-millisecond performance at massive scale without compromising on availability or data consistency.
18:30 – 18:50 - Boosting Cost Efficiency with Cost-Aware Architecture Doron Hoffman, Chief Architect, Contentsquare
In this session, we explore the critical role of cost-aware architecture in achieving optimal cost efficiency for modern software systems. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud services, microservices, and distributed computing, understanding and managing costs becomes paramount. We’ll discuss the shift from traditional architecture to cost-aware design and examine how architectural decisions directly impact operational expenses.
Through a real-world example, we’ll share lessons learned from evaluating multiple cloud providers and their services using cost models and how rearchitecting with cost as a first-class concern made a measurable difference. Attendees will gain practical insights into designing cost-efficient systems that balance performance, scalability, and financial constraints, enabling more sustainable growth.
18:50 – 19:10 - The Latency Leap: Hard Lessons in Migrating Real-Time Systems from AWS to GCP
David Gerchikov, Senior Software Engineer, Aerospike Moving a stable web application between clouds is challenging; migrating a high-throughput, real-time system is far more delicate. When heartbeats are measured in milliseconds, the “invisible” differences between AWS and GCP—from VPC architecture to NVMe and local SSD behavior—can determine whether a migration succeeds or fails. This session goes beyond basic service mapping to explore the real friction points of moving a real-time engine from AWS’s regional model to Google Cloud’s global fabric. We’ll cover networking and traffic-steering gotchas, why AWS operational playbooks often don’t translate, and how storage lifecycle constraints in GCP Local SSDs force changes in node management to preserve predictable performance and reliability.
