The Agenda

• 18:00: Pizza, drinks, and networking

• 18:30: Welcome & Community Updates

• 18:45: Predictable Systems in an Unpredictable World
  Behrad Babaee, Principal Solutions Architect, Aerospike

Modern systems are defined by volatility. When traffic spikes, "average performance" becomes a meaningless metric. This session moves beyond benchmarks to explore the architectural DNA of predictability. Behrad will discuss why modern designs often fail under pressure and how to build a mental model for systems that remain stable regardless of load, access patterns, or scale.

• 19:15: Speaker TBC – HAProxy Technologies

• 19:45: Short Break

• 20:00: eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security from the Kernel Up
  Alam Ahmed, Junior Cloud & DevOps Engineer

Traditional security models often struggle with the ephemeral nature of Kubernetes. Discover how eBPF is transforming defense by moving visibility and enforcement directly into the Linux kernel. Drawing on real-world cases from Meta and Google, Alam explores how tools like Falco, Tetragon, and Cilium deliver 10x performance improvements with <1% CPU overhead. Learn to achieve complete visibility—no kernel modules or code changes required.

• 20:30: Wrap-up & networking drinks
