Postponed - Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale
Hello friends,
We hope you and your loved ones are safe.
Due to the current situation, we have decided to postpone our upcoming meetup, co-hosted with Start.io and contentsquare.
The safety and well-being of our community come first. We will share a new date as soon as possible and look forward to welcoming you when circumstances allow.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.
Best regards,
The Aerospike Team
###
***[IMPORTANT NOTICE registration is HERE](https://luma.com/53lk193a)***
Join **Aerospike, Start.io, and Contentsquare** for an evening of deep technical talks and peer-level discussion on the real trade-offs behind operating modern real-time systems in production - where tail latency, throughput predictability, scalability, and cost efficiency are constantly in tension.
This event will move past theory and into hard-earned production lessons: scaling beyond RAM constraints, migrating high-throughput workloads from Redis to Aerospike, designing architectures driven by real cloud cost models, and uncovering the non-obvious pitfalls of migrating real-time systems from AWS to GCP. Topics range from VPC architecture and traffic steering differences to NVMe and local SSD behavior, and why familiar operational playbooks often fail across clouds.
This event is designed for engineers and architects already running latency-sensitive, high-scale systems - where milliseconds matter, growth is relentless, and infrastructure decisions directly impact performance, reliability, and cost.
โ
**Agenda**
**โ17:30 โ 18:00 - Welcome drinks & networking**
โ**18:00 โ 18:10 - Opening Remarks โ Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale**
*Oshrat Ben-Avi Zabludovitz, Israel Country Manager, Aerospike โ*
**18:10 โ 18:30 - Scaling Past RAM: Architecture Lessons from Our Redis-to-Aerospike Migration**
*Ilan Huchansky, Data Platform Team Leader, Start. io*
โAs Start.io scaled, our legacy Redis-based architecture for the user-profiles database reached significant operational limits, particularly during high-traffic periods, node failures, and scaling events. To maintain our strict performance SLAs while reducing operational overhead, we embarked on a search for a more robust, cost-effective NoSQL solution.
In this session, we will share the architectural lessons learned while evaluating the database landscape - including our comparisons with alternatives - and our ultimate migration to Aerospikeโs Hybrid Memory Architecture. Weโll discuss how we moved past RAM constraints to achieve sub-millisecond performance at massive scale without compromising on availability or data consistency. โ
**18:30 โ 18:50 - Boosting Cost Efficiency with Cost-Aware Architecture** *Doron Hoffman, Chief Architect, Contentsquare* โ
In this session, we explore the critical role of cost-aware architecture in achieving optimal cost efficiency for modern software systems. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud services, microservices, and distributed computing, understanding and managing costs becomes paramount. โWeโll discuss the shift from traditional architecture to cost-aware design and examine how architectural decisions directly impact operational expenses.
Through a real-world example, weโll share lessons learned from evaluating multiple cloud providers and their services using cost models and how rearchitecting with cost as a first-class concern made a measurable difference. โAttendees will gain practical insights into designing cost-efficient systems that balance performance, scalability, and financial constraints, enabling more sustainable growth. โ
**18:50 โ 19:10 - The Latency Leap: Hard Lessons in Migrating Real-Time Systems from AWS to GCP**
*David Gerchikov, Senior Software Engineer, Aerospike* โ
Moving a stable web application between clouds is challenging; migrating a high-throughput, real-time system is far more delicate. When heartbeats are measured in milliseconds, the โinvisibleโ differences between AWS and GCPโfrom VPC architecture to NVMe and local SSD behaviorโcan determine whether a migration succeeds or fails. โThis session goes beyond basic service mapping to explore the real friction points of moving a real-time engine from AWSโs regional model to Google Cloudโs global fabric. Weโll cover networking and traffic-steering gotchas, why AWS operational playbooks often donโt translate, and how storage lifecycle constraints in GCP Local SSDs force changes in node management to preserve predictable performance and reliability. โ
**19:10 โ 20:30 - Drinks & networking**

Meetup #19: (yet another) Hardware and IoT Cybersecurity oriented meetup
**THIS EVENT IS LOOKING FOR A HOST AFTER THE ORIGINAL HOTS BACKED OFF FROM IT ON MARCH 2025. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HOST US - LET US KNOW, AND WE WILL SET THE EVENT DATE WITH YOU, EARLIER THAN THE DATE SET NOW WHICH IS A RANDOM PLACEHOLDER.**
For reasons beyond our understanding, after setting the meetup on the 24.3 (instead of having the Kernel debugging one then) due to GM's request, and postponing it in a week due to logistics issues at the host, the meetup will be postponed/rescheduled/moved.
**We had great backup plans, but they would require me to pay to host you, and I'm done doing that (+they were in another city).**
Anyways, GM say:
"Thanks for registering to our meetup!
Unfortunately, due to an unexpected logistic issue, we will not be able to hold the event as planned.
We hope to be able to hold it at a future time and update accordingly."
**I am sorry for the inconvenience and the disappointment. Trust me I am much more disappointed than you are, and it is time for you to get your companies to sponsor our meetup group on a yearly basis, so that no meetup will ever be cancelled or rescheduled again, ever.**
I am leaving the original text in tact, because this meetup will happen at another time.
\-\-\-\-\-
**Double registration alert:**
Registration is mandatory and \*will be checked\* so please make sure you RSVP here, and in addition register in You **absolutely** have to register in this link, and **carefully** read the event guidelines there.

**AGENDA**
5:30PM-6:00PM **Gathering. Networking, High Fives, Hugs (Everyone @ Embedded Israel)**
6:00PM-6:15PM **Welcome notes: About Embedded Israel, community Building - Ron Munitz (Founder @ Embedded Israel)**
6:30PM - 7:00PM **Intro to Hardware Reverse Engineering -** **Dan Peled (Cyber Security Group Manager @ GM)**
In this talk, "Intro to Hardware Reverse Engineering," weโll cover the basics of embedded systems, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and techniques to physically access and analyze hardware.
Weโll explore common components, debug interfaces, and basic hardware defenses. By the end, attendees will have the essential skills to reverse engineer simple embedded devices and identify debug interfaces.
7:00PM - 7:10PM **Networking break**
7:10PM - 7:40PM **Hacking HiSilicon Cameras for...Necessity (and hacking several million other devices while at it)** - **Ron Munitz (CoE @ The PSCG/PSCG Holdings LTD)**
In this talk I will present the taxonomy of adding remote debugging and OTA\-ing mechanisms to a popular COTS Security Camera device I have been working on for a while\, a little while ago\. The story starts with the why and how \(Design house not very responsive on SW development features\) remote debugging capabilities had to be updated\, continues with some of the techniques used to understand the firmware structure\, resulting in a self extracting archive that adds capabilities without the vendor support\, and ends with the understanding that the same techniques can be used to take over millions of other\, very similar devices\. The main takeaway of this talk is that there is a thin line between being a Linux hacker\, and being a hacker\, but other takeaways include understanding supply chain \(and time to market\) fl\[a\|o\]ws\, common Embedded Linux filesystem structures\, "security opportunities" when working with incompetent managers who experience their first Consumer device manufacturing and shipping\, and last but not least\, how the great nation of China can help you to PwN the masses as a by product\, just because "it's there"\.
7:40PM-8:15PM: **Pwn Without Own: Hacking $100K Gas Chromatograph Without Hardware** - **Vera Mens (Vulnerability Researcher @ Claroty/Team82)**
ICS/OT research is tough without access to rare, expensive equipment. In this talk, weโll show how we reverse-engineered a $100K Gas Chromatograph, leveraging its Ethernet capability to explore remote attack vectors. By disassembling the firmware and mapping key components, we fully emulated the device, reconstructed internal structures, and decoded proprietary protocolsโall without physical access. Oh, and found a RCE vulnerability of course :)
8:15PM - Until we are kicked out **Community Building / Lightning Talks / Networking**
We are looking forward to seeing you, and having more people participate. As (almost) always, if you have something great to talk about - I am happy to "give up my spot" for you. **And by all means, submit talks. Submit Lightning talks. Participate. Share the word. Have your organization sponsor the community - we are planning awesome things, and we want to always keep objective!**
Last words: Everyone, including everyone registers. No one unsubscribes from updates. Please don't test us.
See you soon!

Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE ๐๏ธ- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That theyโre โfor later.โThat you canโt touch them. That real estate and retirement money donโt mix.
Theyโre wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to workโฆ**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
Weโre excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practicallyโฆso you understand whatโs allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What Youโll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other Peopleโs Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
### **Event Details**

**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6โ8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*
