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.
Modern architectures often use legacy services for specific tasks, but these services may lack accurate documentation and using them can be risky if you don't understand them well. AI coding agents can help close that knowledge gap.
Ben Maraney shares how Forter demystified AI agent creation for technical and non-technical staff. He discusses leveraging custom MCP servers, combining no-code and code-based platforms, sidestepping complex RAG setups, and aligning security and legal teams to accelerate internal agent adoption across R&D.
Dhruva Juloori discusses how Uber maintains green mainlines across massive monorepos handling 65,000+ monthly changes. He explains how SubmitQueue uses binary speculation trees, conflict analysis, and machine learning models to predict build success and execution times. Dhruva shares how bypassing large diffs slashed CI resource usage by 53% while accelerating PR landing times by 37%.
The panelists discuss how production operations are evolving with AI, turning operational data into actionable insights for incident response. They explain how automation and new architectural practices help engineering teams build more understandable systems, while exploring how AI reshapes software delivery and changes the historically deterministic nature of production applications.
