Accelerating Performance by Incrementally Integrating Rust into Existing Codebase

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.

Implementing Durable Workflows on Postgres Without an External Orchestrator

Postgres can serve as the durable state store and coordination layer for workflows, eliminating the need for an external orchestrator. SKIP LOCKED enables concurrent work processing, primary-key checkpoints enforce idempotency, and leases support crash recovery. Workflow sleeps and human approvals can also be persisted as database state and survive restarts.

Context Engineering at LinkedIn: How We Built an Organizational Context Layer for AI Agents with MCP

Ajay Prakash discusses how LinkedIn overcomes AI agent limitations in large codebases. He explains Contextual Agent Playbooks and Tools - built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) - which serves procedural memory, code search, and runbooks directly to coding agents. Prakash shares architectural details and operational guardrails that deliver a 20% productivity boost with zero loss in reliability.

Complexity and Creativity in Software Engineering

Phillip Mortimer discusses the shift toward write-only software driven by AI code generation. He explains why traditional pull requests are broken and shares how engineering leaders can manage complexity by decoupling intent from implementation, automating code reviews, and building self-healing architecture to unleash developer creativity across senior engineering and architecture teams.

When Incidents Refuse to End

Vanessa Huerta Granda explains how marathon incidents expose the gap between work as imagined and work as done. Drawing from real-world scenarios, she shares how complex outages reveal organizational fragility, human limits, and system interdependencies—and why incident response requires structured endurance, humane rotations, and holistic cross-functional coordination.
