Join us for an evening packed with great people, strong tech content, and plenty of good vibes. Come curious, come hungry, and come ready to connect with fellow engineers from the local community.

### ​AGENDA (more updates coming soon):

​🍻🍉 17:30 - Gathering, Chats & Bites

​🎙️ 18:00 - ​Databases at the Crossroads of Scale, Real-Time, and AI
​Zohar Elkayam Principle Solutions Architect, Aerospike
​
Modern systems increasingly operate at the intersection of real-time data access, large-scale workloads, and AI-driven applications, yet architectures are still built on database choices designed for different requirements. This session explores the technical trade-offs that determine whether a database meets production demands.
​We’ll break down architectural dimensions that are often oversimplified: consistency models (eventual vs. strong and their latency impact), scalability approaches (vertical vs. horizontal, single vs. multi-region), data access patterns (key-value, document, graph), and durability and replication trade-offs (synchronous vs. asynchronous). We’ll look at how AI and ML inference pipelines increase pressure on tail latency, throughput predictability, and operational isolation.
​
Rather than advocating a specific technology, the talk presents a vendor-neutral framework for evaluating database architectures against real workload characteristics. Using real-world migration lessons, we’ll highlight common anti-patterns and show how better alignment between database design, access patterns, and SLAs can improve performance, resilience, and engineering efficiency.

18:40 - ​TALK #3 - Coming soon
​
LIGHTNING TALKS (20 MINUTES)
​
19:10 - ​DevOps Origin- The Anime Adventure (10 Minutes)
​Sitar Gold, DevOps Engineer & Podcaster + Content Creator
​
In this session, I’ll share my journey from IT engineer to DevOps, framed as an anime-inspired adventure. Just like in the best anime series, landing my DevOps job marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of the real journey. Through practical experience, mentorship, and overcoming misconceptions, I’ll highlight the key lessons that shaped my path and how others can level up in DevOps. Whether you're a junior or senior, this talk offers insights into making the switch and growing in the field.
