Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale
***[IMPORTANT NOTICE registration is HERE](https://luma.com/j8czeuvr)***
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.
**Agenda**
**17:30 – 18:00 - Welcome drinks & networking**
**18:00 – 18:10 - Opening Remarks – Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale**
*Oshrat Ben-Avi Zabludovitz, Israel Country Manager, Aerospike *
**18:10 – 18:30 - Scaling Past RAM: Architecture Lessons from Our Redis-to-Aerospike Migration**
*Ilan Huchansky, Data Platform Team Leader, Start. io*
As 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 Aerospike’s Hybrid Memory Architecture. We’ll discuss how we moved past RAM constraints to achieve sub-millisecond performance at massive scale without compromising on availability or data consistency.
**18:30 – 18:50 - Boosting Cost Efficiency with Cost-Aware Architecture** *Doron Hoffman, Chief Architect, Contentsquare*
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. We’ll discuss the shift from traditional architecture to cost-aware design and examine how architectural decisions directly impact operational expenses.
Through a real-world example, we’ll 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. Attendees will gain practical insights into designing cost-efficient systems that balance performance, scalability, and financial constraints, enabling more sustainable growth.
**18:50 – 19:10 - The Latency Leap: Hard Lessons in Migrating Real-Time Systems from AWS to GCP**
*David Gerchikov, Senior Software Engineer, Aerospike*
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 “invisible” differences between AWS and GCP—from VPC architecture to NVMe and local SSD behavior—can determine whether a migration succeeds or fails. This session goes beyond basic service mapping to explore the real friction points of moving a real-time engine from AWS’s regional model to Google Cloud’s global fabric. We’ll cover networking and traffic-steering gotchas, why AWS operational playbooks often don’t translate, and how storage lifecycle constraints in GCP Local SSDs force changes in node management to preserve predictable performance and reliability.
**19:10 – 20:30 - Networking and fun**

Hacking the Claude Ecosystem. Jailbreaking Opus and how to protect it
How Claude-powered systems actually get hacked. We'll go straight into the attacks people are running right now: prompt injection, jailbreaks, agent and tool exploits, and what red-teaming the Claude ecosystem really looks like.
🍕 **18:00 – 18:30** · **Gathering, Pizza & Drinks**
📣 **18:30 – 18:45** · **Welcome + Latest Claude Updates** · Organizers
💻 **18:45 – 19:15** · **JavaScript Is All You Need: Exploiting Agentic Workflows for API Key Theft** · Eden Katz, GenAI Security Tech Lead @ Alice.
Building with AI APIs? This one matters. Alice's research shows that API key creation on platforms like Anthropic relies on cookie-based auth alone — so a malicious browser extension or a compromised agent skill can silently mint a new key and ship it elsewhere. No MFA, no warning, no expiration. As agents get trusted with autonomous code execution and client-side access, the line between safe tool use and serious vulnerability collapses. JavaScript really is all you need.
👾 **19:15 – 19:45** · **Securing coding agents: Unpacking Threats and Defences** · Bar Kaduri, Principal researcher @ Capsule Security
*AI coding agents like Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor now write, execute, and ship code with unprecedented autonomy, often straight to production. But this privileged access opens a unique attack surface, as recent incidents like prompt poisoning and deleted databases reveal. This session breaks down the real-world threats facing coding agents and delivers practical, actionable defences for securing your AI-assisted development pipeline.*

השקעות בנדל”ן בארה”ב – איך זה עובד ואיך מתחילים
ערב אחד, אווירה ביתית, שיחה פתוחה. דני בית-אור מגיע לביקור קצר מקליפורניה ומארח מפגש אינטימי על השקעה מרחוק בנדל״ן האמריקאי — היכן משקיעים היום, איך נכנסים נכון, ומה באמת חשוב לדעת לפני שמתחילים.
***הרשמה: https://simplydoit.net/etn/june2026***
אני חי בקליפורניה ופועל למעלה מ-20 שנה כמשקיע נדל״ן, ולאורך הדרך סייעתי למאות משקיעים לרכוש אלפי נכסים בלמעלה מ-40 ערי מטרו שונות בארה״ב. זהו מפגש ביתי בסגנון שיחה פתוחה — באווירה אינטימית ומספר מקומות מוגבל. לא הרצאה ולא מצגת, אלא שיחה כנה סביב כל מה שמטריד אתכם לפני הצעד הראשון, וגם אחריו. בואו עם השאלות שלכם.
**על מה נדבר**
* היכן כדאי להשקיע — אילו שווקים מעניינים היום
* איזה סוג נכסים — בית פרטי, דופלקס או מולטי-פאמילי
* איך משקיעים מרחוק, מבלי לעלות על מטוס
* התנהלות עם חברות ניהול נכסים
* זיהוי חששות וחסמים — ואיך מתגברים עליהם
* ריביות ומשכנתאות, ומה זמין למשקיע זר
* היכן יש הזדמנויות מעניינות במצב השוק הנוכחי
* רכישה והחזקת נכסים מישראל

## הסיפור מאחורי המספרים
לקח לי 3 שנים לעשות את הצעד הראשון בהשקעות נדל״ן. 3 שנים רק קראתי חומר וצרכתי ידע תיאורטי. לפני 6 שנים עשיתי את הצעד הראשון שלי. וגם אז זה היה אכזבה
קניתי דירה בבאר שבע. מכרתי בהפסד. לאחר מכן נכנסתי לפליפ בארה"ב. היזם הפסיד.
בכל פעם למדתי משהו חדש: על משכנתאות, על מיסוי, על ניהול נכסים מרחוק. הלכתי לשטח במילווקי, בדימונה, בטביליסי, בפלורידה. אחרי 6 שנים של עסקאות בישראל, ארה״ב וגיאורגיה, ואחרי 100 ראיונות עם יזמים בפודקאסט ״השקעה טוב״, הבנתי דבר אחד פשוט:
הנכס הכי יקר בהשקעות הוא איכות האנשים.
אני רוצה להקיף את עצמי באנשים שרוצים לשתף פעולה ומבינים שבניית עושר היא מרתון. בגלל זה אני מקיים את המפגשים האלו. כדי לדבר תכלס, מהשטח, ולפגוש אנשים שרוצים לרוץ יחד.
## מה הולך להיות בסדנא?
שעתיים של פרקטיקה טהורה, בלי סיסמאות ובלי הבטחות להתעשרות מהירה.
### עסקאות אמיתיות מהשטח
ניתוח לעומק של עסקאות אמיתיות שנעשו במציאות, ללא פילטרים. נראה את האקסלים והמספרים.
### היכרות מבפנים
פלטפורמה להכיר את הנדל"ן של ארה"ב — לטוב ולרע. מה עובד, מה מסוכן, ואיפה נופלים (ואיפה אני נפלתי).
### אסטרטגיות למתקדמים
איתור נכסים, הבנת שוק ארה"ב, מימון חכם ליצירת עסקאות, ומניעת הטעויות הנפוצות ביותר.
### נטוורקינג ושותפויות
מפגש עם אנשים רציניים כמוך. בלי חליפות מעונבות. אולי כאן תמצאו את השותפים העתידיים שלכם לדרך.

Open Source, AI, and Community Assembly — Maakaf x HaMakor
Join us for a professional meetup where we dive deep into the world of open source, explore how to navigate complex codebases, and examine the future of software development in the age of AI.
The event will be hosted at the Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo and will conclude with the annual members' assembly of "HaMakor" – the Israeli association for the promotion of open source. Come to learn, contribute, and connect with the community.
**Agenda**
**17:30 \| Gathering and Mingling**
**18:00 \| How to Navigate an Existing Codebase / Igor Khanin\, Backend Engineer at Fireblocks**
In our studies, we are used to writing everything from scratch, but in the real world and in open-source projects, the true challenge is understanding complex, existing codebases. In this talk, Igor will share practical techniques for code exploration and explain why this skill is even more critical in the era of LLMs.
**18:30 \| 3 Scenarios for the Future of Software Development / Eran Shlomo\, Cofounder & CEO at flowpad**
How are AI tools fundamentally transforming the software engineering profession? In this talk, we will analyze three potential scenarios for the near future of software development—from changes in how we write code and the automation of testing and integrations, to the evolving role of developers on the team.
**19:15 \| HaMakor Association Members' Assembly** An opportunity to get to know the association's activities up close, influence its goals, and become part of the central voice for open source in Israel.
A 400+ Level Meetup - Advanced AWS AI & Security Use Cases
This meetup is an advanced one! We will be presenting all sorts of complicated networking, identity, AI and platform engineering solutions established on AWS infrastructure!
**What To Expect?**
* **Pizza and beer!**
* **Cool Swag**
* **Awesome Speakers**
**Agenda:**
18:00-18:30 **\- Networking\, beers and pizza**
18:30-19:00 **\- Talk 1:** **AI didn’t Wait for Security - Now What?**
Speaker: [Ran Isenberg](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranbuilder?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios) , AWS Hero & Principal Architect @Palo Alto Networks & [Stav Ochakovski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stav-ochakovski?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios) ,AWS Hero & Senior DevOps Engineer, Eon.
AI didn't wait for your security review. Developers are already using agentic AI, coding assistants, agentic skills, and MCP servers to write, review, and ship code, often without shared security standards or governance. In large orgs, this becomes chaotic tool sprawl: multiple IDEs, many agents, inconsistent rules, and rising risk. The instinctive reaction is to block AI tools entirely. That approach fails fast: developers work around it, security loses visibility, delivery slows, and risk grows.
This talk offers a better path: treat AI as a first-class platform citizen. Drawing on platform engineering principles, you'll learn how to build centralized MCP guardrails, a curated agentic skills catalog, and reusable agentic blueprints, backed by AI SDLC frameworks that govern AI usage while accelerating delivery of AI-powered services.
19:00-19:30 **\- Talk 2: No Secrets Attached: AWS as Your OIDC Provider**
Speaker: [Omer Cohen,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/omercohen?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios)Head of Security, Descope
Stop putting secrets in Lambda. This talk shows how to use AWS IAM outbound identity federation so a Lambda function can mint a short-lived JWT with sts:GetWebIdentityToken, verify and inspect it, and use it to authenticate to Snowflake, MongoDB Atlas, and a cross-account API Gateway.
You will leave with a practical architecture, working code, and a clear understanding of where this pattern shines and where the integration edges still are.

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited
**About the host**
