Serving 70B models on a budget
Wed 12 May, 09:30 – 10:15·Main Stage
A working account of cutting inference cost by an order of magnitude without giving up latency: continuous batching, speculative decoding, and the three quantisation choices that…
Priya Raman Principal Engineer, Northwind Labs
- Platform & Infra Talk
Four hundred engineers, one repository
Wed 12 May, 09:30 – 10:00·Room 2B
What actually breaks at that size, in the order it breaks: code ownership, CI queueing, and the review culture nobody wrote down. Two things we would do again and one we would not.
Dmitri Sokolov Infrastructure Architect, Ravenline
- Platform & Infra Talk
Feature flags are a database problem
Wed 12 May, 11:00 – 11:30·Main Stage
Every flag system starts as a boolean and ends as a query planner. How we cut evaluation latency to microseconds, and why the interesting part turned out to be deletion, not…

- Amara Nwosu Product Engineer, Ostmark
- Platform & Infra Talk
Your build is slow because of four things
Wed 12 May, 11:00 – 11:30·Room 2A
Build times decay for boringly consistent reasons. We instrumented ours for a year; this is what we found, in order of how much time each cost, and what fixing them actually took.
- Marcus Okafor Staff Platform Engineer, Meridian Systems
- AI Engineering Talk
Prompt injection in production: a field report
Wed 12 May, 14:00 – 14:30·Room 2A
Six months of attempts against a customer-facing assistant, what got through, and the four mitigations that survived contact. No threat-model diagrams — just the payloads and what…
- Tomiwa Adeyemi Security Engineer, Northwind Labs
- Developer Experience Talk
Documentation is a navigation problem
Thu 13 May, 09:30 – 10:00·Room 2B
Teams rewrite documentation when they should be rewiring it. A practical method for finding the pages people actually fail to reach, and what to do once you have the list.
- Ada Bennett Developer Experience Lead, Cascade
- AI Engineering Talk
Retrieval that survives real documents
Thu 13 May, 11:00 – 11:30·Room 2A
Benchmarks use clean prose; our corpus was scanned PDFs, spreadsheets and a wiki nobody had touched since 2019. What chunking survived, what re-ranking bought us, and where we gave…
- Hana Kobayashi ML Platform Lead, Aoi Systems
- Rafael Moreira Data Engineer, Aoi Systems
- Platform & Infra Panel
On-call rotations that people stay for
Thu 13 May, 14:00 – 14:45·Main Stage
What changed when we stopped optimising the rota and started optimising the handover. Two years of data from a team that halved its attrition.
- Ng Wei Ling Engineering Manager, Harbour
- Marcus Okafor Staff Platform Engineer, Meridian Systems

The cost of your abstraction layer
Fri 14 May, 09:30 – 10:15·Main Stage
A panel on the wrappers we built over cloud providers, ORMs and message brokers — which paid for themselves, which became a second system to learn, and how you tell early enough to…
