AI Meetup: Building Reliable Data-Intensive Applications

** Important **: Due to room capacity and building security, you must register on the event website for admission.

Description:
Join PingCAP, Antithesis, MongoDB and industry leaders for an evening of insights and networking focused on building reliable, scalable, and high-performance data-intensive applications. This meetup will bring together developers, infrastructure engineers, SREs, and architects to explore cutting-edge tools and best practices for managing complex data workloads.

Hear from PingCAP about TiDB, the distributed SQL database designed for modern applications, and learn how EasyPost leverages TiDB to power their operations. MongoDB will share their journey of using formal methods (TLA+) to validate critical database consensus protocols, while Antithesis will explore strategies for detecting hidden failure modes that traditional reliability practices might miss.

Who Should Attend:
Developers, Infrastructure Engineers, SREs, Architects, and anyone passionate about building reliable, data-driven applications.

Speakers/Topics:

• TiDB and the future of distributed databases, Li Shen (PingCAP)
• Scaling Beyond Limits: Selecting and Qualifying TiDB for a Future Without MySQL Sharding, Adam Firester (Easypost)
• Designing robust database consensus protocol using formal methods (TLA+), Siyuan Zhou (MongoDB)
• Uncovering hidden failure modes in complex systems, Youhana Naseim (Antithesis)
