// Real-Time Data, Real-World Impact: Building a High-Performance Feature Store - Roee Sheffer, VP R&D, Arpeely

Arpeely operates within the fast-paced AdTech ecosystem, handling millions of ad requests per second while maintaining sub-300ms latency. To meet the demands of high-performance, low-latency decision-making, we have developed an extremely configurable system that adapts dynamically to evolving business needs.
In this session, we will present our real-time feature store, a key component of our infrastructure that enables real-time consumption, ingestion, and processing of millions of events per second. This system is designed to allow data scientists to define, modify and test feature configurations combining data from different sources.
We will discuss the architectural challenges of building such a scalable, low-latency system, the trade-offs involved, and the innovative solutions that power Arpeely’s success in real-time advertising

// Choosing the Right Database for the Right Use Case - Zohar Elkayam, Principal Solutions Architect, Aerospike

In today's data-driven landscape, choosing the right database is essential for the success of your application. This session will walk you through the database selection process, addressing the specific challenges and requirements of different use cases.

We will compare and contrast SQL and NoSQL databases, including relational databases (like PostgreSQL and MySQL) and high-performance databases (like Aerospike). Additionally, we will delve into various database models, such as Key-Value, Column-Wide Store, and Time-Series, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses.

Through real-world case studies and practical architectural designs, you will gain valuable insights into the decision-making process and learn how to evaluate database options effectively. We will explore the types of data and transactions best suited for each database, as well as factors like scalability, real-time data handling, and advanced search capabilities.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear framework for selecting the optimal database to meet your business goals and technical requirements.

// Newsflash: There is no quality as a service - Niv Yungelson- Independent Cloud Architect, AWS Community Hero and Leader

Our hardware is getting faster, why the heck does our software get slower?
our servers are virtual at best. Our databases use storage that is not managed by us and our code is on someone else’s domain.
In this talk we will speak the unspeakable- over-abstractions can hurt the quality of our product and we don’t do anything about it.
we will give examples of before and after, and alongside to a lot of food for thought, we will give some practical tips on how to be quality minded in a world of SaaS
