    The Open Source Engine: CLYSO & Ceph in Cloud Native

    in-person

    As cloud-native workloads grow in scale and complexity, the demand for robust, highly adaptable, and vendor-agnostic storage has never been higher. In this talk, we will explore how CLYSO Enterprise Storage leverages the proven foundation of open-source Ceph to deliver a flexible, petabyte-scale data platform for mission-critical Kubernetes environments. Join us to discover how enterprise engineering is breaking vendor lock-in, ensuring resilience, and future-proofing the modern data lifecycle.

    SPEAKERS

    Unlocking CI Performance in the Age of Agentic Development

    in-person

    In this session, I'll show you how to look beyond reported build times and find where your pipeline is actually spending its minutes. You'll learn practical techniques for identifying bottlenecks, measuring what matters, and prioritizing the fixes that deliver real impact. I'll share examples from production pipelines where small changes led to big improvements — and explain why optimizing CI is one of the highest-leverage things you can do to get the most out of AI-assisted development. Faster CI means faster feedback loops, happier developers, and more deploys per day.
