Server Side Chat: Cracking the 1 Billion Row Challenge

The next Server Side Chat is coming up! Join us as Felipe takes you on a journey through Lua, starting with a basic script and diving deep into wild optimizations that push Lua’s performance into C-like territory. But this talk isn’t just about Lua—it’s about how we think as developers, how we optimize, and how we geek out on performance.

Expect a hands-on exploration of data processing, memory management, and a few “aha!” moments that go beyond any single language. Whether you're new to Lua or a performance junkie, there’s something here for you.

In the 2nd talk of this Server Side Chat, In this talk, Alejandro will show developers how to build a fully local, low-cost, privacy-focused AI support agent. Using open-source models and simple tools, you’ll learn how to automate customer service tasks without relying on third-party APIs or exposing sensitive data.

From answering FAQs based on a business’s own knowledge base, to retrieving order details from local databases (SQLite, CSV), this talk is packed with practical insights for building self-contained AI systems.

🍕 There will be pizzas and drinks (free).
