The Rust High Performance Talk You Did Not Expect

Ruth Linehan explains how migrating high-performance caching services from Kotlin to Rust shattered internal preconceptions around delivery velocity and engineering overhead. She discusses the ergonomics of the Rust borrow checker, shares how compile-time safety shortens the developer feedback loop, and profiles how tools like Criterion and flamegraphs optimize concurrent code paths.

Compiling Workflows into Databases: The Architecture That Shouldn't Work (But Does)

Jeremy Edberg & Qian Li discuss why external orchestrators decrease reliability and how to use your existing database for durable execution. They share how DBOS Transact uses standard tables, SKIP LOCKED queues, and unique primary keys to manage complex, fault-tolerant AI workflows with minimal latency, all without the operational overhead of separate distributed systems.

Multi-Agent AI for Production Security Operations: An A2A and MCP Architecture in a 5G Core

The bottleneck in a mature SOC is rarely analyst triage; rather, it is the detection-engineering team's ability to keep the rule base aligned with a threat landscape that evolves faster than rules can be written. Learn how multi-agent system for production security operations has reduced mean times to detect and to respond by 40% and compressed the human work required by 12x.

Road to Compliance: Will Your Internal Users Hate Your Platform Team?

Davide de Paolis discusses the realities of rolling out cloud infrastructure compliance without fracturing developer relations. Drawing from a real-world platform team reboot at Sevdesk, he explains how to implement "minimum viable governance" on AWS, utilize event-driven Slack alerting to automate policy feedback, and shift from rigid enforcement to high-empathy, data-driven collaboration.
