Agenda:
18:00-18:30 - Welcome drinks and networking

18:30-19:00 - The Power of Real-Time: Speed, Scale, and Zero Compromise
Oshrat Ben-Avi Zabludovitz, Israel Country Manager, Aerospike

Discover how modern data platforms are designed to power mission-critical applications at massive scale. We’ll explore how hybrid memory architecture, high-throughput secondary indexing, and cross-data-center replication enable consistent sub-millisecond performance, five-nines availability, and efficient real-time processing. The session will also cover architectural patterns for handling petabyte-scale data, millions of TPS, and globally distributed workloads, delivering both the reliability engineers demand and the speed businesses need.

19:00-19:30 - Stream All the Things - Patterns of Effective Data Stream Processing
Adi Polak - Director, Advocacy and Developer Experience Engineering, Confluent

Data streaming is a really difficult problem. Despite 10+ years of attempting to simplify it, teams building real-time data pipelines can spend up to 80% of their time optimizing it or fixing downstream output by handling bad data at the lake. All we want is a service that will be reliable, handle all kinds of data, connect with all kinds of systems, be easy to manage, and scale up and down as our systems change.
Oh, it should also have super low latency and result in good data. Is it too much to ask?

In this presentation, you’ll learn the basics of data streaming and architecture patterns such as DLQ, used to tackle these challenges. We will then explore how to implement these patterns using Apache Flink and discuss the challenges that real-time AI applications bring to our infra. Difficult problems are difficult, and we offer no silver bullets. Still, we will share pragmatic solutions that have helped many organizations build fast, scalable, and manageable data streaming pipelines.

19:30-20:00 - Speed, Accuracy, and Low Maintenance: Having It All
Eden Rosenthal, R&D Team Leader, IntentIQ

In the fast-paced world of ad tech, speed is everything. With billions of requests processed daily, achieving low latency and high accuracy is a constant challenge.

For years, IntentIQ had to balance performance and accuracy, often sacrificing one for the other - a tradeoff that impacted business performance and growth potential. In her session, Eden will share the core challenges they faced in scaling their infrastructure while maintaining high performance, the solution they implemented, and how it enabled them to scale efficiently without compromising on either speed or accuracy.

20:00-21:00 - Networking
