**\>\>\>[Note importante — veuillez vous inscrire à l’événement ICI](https://luma.com/x6m7erdx)** Rejoignez-nous à Paris pour une matinée consacrée aux architectures et technologies qui permettent de construire la prochaine génération de systèmes de données haute performance. Ce meetup rassemble des experts d’AWS, Aerospike et Adikteev pour explorer comment les plateformes modernes fournissent des données en temps réel, des charges de travail IA extensibles et une résilience native au cloud. Découvrez comment AWS EC2 Graviton redéfinit l’efficacité du calcul, pourquoi la latence P99 détermine les performances réelles de vos applications, et comment Adikteev a réussi à migrer une infrastructure de compteurs à l’échelle du milliard sans aucune interruption de service. Vous verrez également comment l’architecture temps réel et à faible latence d’Aerospike soutient des décisions pilotées par l’IA à l’échelle mondiale. La matinée se conclura par un panel technique, une session de questions-réponses et un temps de networking avec des ingénieurs, architectes et experts qui façonnent l’avenir des systèmes temps réel. **Inscrivez-vous dès maintenant et rejoignez la conversation sur la prochaine génération des architectures de données, de calcul et d’IA en temps réel.** **\>\>\>[Note importante — veuillez vous inscrire à l’événement ICI](https://luma.com/x6m7erdx)** **\*\*\*Programme de l’événement\*\*\*** **08:30-09:00 - Boissons et networking** **09:00-09:15 - Introduction - Performance, Scalabilité et TCO : Les nouveaux standards de l'infrastructure temps réel** *Pierre Berard, Regional Manager Southern Europe, Aerospike* **09:15-09:35 - Concevoir des architectures performantes avec AWS EC2 Graviton** *Romain Legret, Specialist Solutions Architect - Efficient Compute, AWS* Les clients AWS lancent chaque année des dizaines de milliards d’instances EC2, en choisissant parmi une gamme toujours plus large d’options de calcul, de stockage, de mémoire et de réseau.

Deep dive into Lakebase** *Speaker: Yanic, Senior Solutions Engineer at Databricks* **19:25 - Talk 2. What Does It Take to Build a Real-Time Data Platform?** *Speaker: Melvyn Peignon, ClickHouse* Modern AI systems—from recommendation engines to autonomous LLM agents—depend on fast, reliable access to fresh data. Feature retrieval, contextual enrichment, analytics, and observability all require **sub-second responses**, even at terabyte or petabyte scale, to deliver truly interactive experiences. In this session, we’ll explore how **ClickHouse enables real-time analytics at scale** and how it fits into end-to-end AI architectures. We’ll dive into storage formats, indexing strategies, compression techniques, and query execution optimizations that deliver **predictable low latency**. We’ll also look at how ClickHouse integrates with the broader data ecosystem—data lakes, queues, and databases—to power modern analytical and AI workloads. **19:30 - Talk 3. AI Era: What It Means for Databases** *Speaker: Nicolas Wlodarczyk, Engineer, Aerospike* The rise of AI is reshaping every layer of modern architecture—and **databases are at the center of this transformation**. In this talk, Nicolas Wlodarczyk explores how the AI era is redefining how data is stored, accessed, processed, and delivered at scale. Whether you’re building real-time applications, optimizing large-scale data pipelines, or preparing your infrastructure for AI-driven workloads, this session will give you a clear view of what’s changing—and what it means for you. You’ll learn: * Why traditional database assumptions no longer hold in AI-centric systems * How real-time inference and massive parallelism reshape data access patterns * The architectural shifts needed to support low-latency, high-throughput AI applications * What modern databases must deliver to keep up with accelerating model complexity * Practical steps to prepare your data infrastructure for the next wave of AI adoption Expect short talks, demos, and plenty of time for networking with others shaping the future of AI development.

Whether you are a seasoned professional in operationalizing ML systems or just getting started with Machine Learning in production, you are invited to join this limited event, attend a talk and network with other professionals in the field. **About the talk:** AI models become more complex, the cost of inference—both in terms of computation and energy—continues to rise. In this talk, **[Minette Kaunismäki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/minette-kaunismaki/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/minette-kaunismaki/")** will explore how combining compression techniques such as quantisation, pruning, caching, and distillation can significantly optimise model performance during inference. By applying these methods, combining compression enables reductions in model size and computational load while maintaining quality, thereby making AI more accessible and environmentally sustainable. The talk and Q&A will be in English. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Mandatory registration on Eventbrite via **[this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wimlds-x-mlops-paris-how-to-make-ai-models-faster-cheaper-greener-tickets-1979986773740?aff=oddtdtcreator)** ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⏰ **Planning** * 18h45 - 19h15 : Accueil & introduction 👋 * 19h15 - 20h15 : Talk 🎤 * 20h15 - 22h00: Cocktail & échanges 🥂 🎙 **Speakers** **[Minette Kaunismäki]()** is Developer Advocate @ Pruna.ai 🙌 **Sponsors et entreprises participantes** \*\*[Vestiaire Collective ](https://us.vestiairecollective.com/ "https://us.vestiairecollective.com/")\*\*is a C2C global platform for buying and selling pre-owned luxury and premium fashion.

This group is for anyone who wants to explore Buddhist meditation in a relaxed and supportive setting. Each session includes a short meditation, a simple teaching from Buddhist psychology, and an open discussion about how these ideas show up in everyday life. While our foundation is Buddhist practice, we love weaving in wisdom from other traditions whenever it helps us grow, find peace, and support each other. Members of our community come from many different backgrounds, and you do not need to consider yourself a Buddhist to attend. All are welcome. The session runs from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., with doors open from 6:30 to 9:00. Come early or stay after if you’d like to enjoy some quiet reflection or casual conversation with the community. On the first Wednesday of each month, we share a potluck meal. Bring a dish if you’d like, but the most important thing you can bring is yourself. We look forward to seeing you!
