# \*\*[Ariel Shulman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariel-shulman/overlay/about-this-profile/) \|\*\* Software Engineer at Factify \| **Postgres Beyond the Rows**
You’re likely underutilizing the most powerful piece of your infrastructure.
While most devs treat Postgres as a reliable container for rows and columns, it’s actually a sophisticated engine capable of handling complex data challenges.
From mastering deep, nested hierarchies with lightning-fast traversal to image deduplication and similarity search at scale (no vectors!).
In this session we will move beyond standard queries to show how built-in indexing and specialized data types can replace external microservices, and simplify your stack. Come see why the most powerful tool in your stack is likely the one you’re already running.
## \*\*[Nadav (Kremer) Beker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadav-kremer/overlay/about-this-profile/) \|\*\* Tech Lead at **Finonex**\| **How Observability Killed My Performance**
Logs, traces, metrics, correlation IDs — observability promises clarity when systems get complex. But in Node.js, these tools are not free, and used without care they can become a serious performance bottleneck. In this talk, I’ll share real-world lessons from production Node.js systems where adding observability actually degraded performance. We’ll look at the hidden costs of logging, async logging, AsyncLocalStorage, distributed tracing, and high-cardinality metrics — and why these issues often only appear under real load.

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

מרעיון למוצר - סדנת עיצוב וחיתוך בלייזר בשני מפגשים
בסדנה נכיר את הכלים העיקריים בתוכנה חינמית ועשירה לעיצוב וקטורי ונלמד לעצב פריטים שימושיים. נעצב יחד שני תוצרים אמיתיים - קערה ומחזיק טלפון - ונייצר אותם בלייזר. במהלך הסדנה נפתח ביטחון בעיצוב וקטורי, כך שנוכל להמשיך ולעצב באופן עצמאי בבית ולהגיע למייקלאב כדי לחתוך את העיצובים שלנו במכונת הלייזר.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
