Lightning: Agents in Production Q&A
Wed 12 May, 09:00 – 09:10·Room 2A
A rapid-fire Q&A session on running AI agents in production: reliability, guardrails, and what breaks first when agents meet real users.
- Marcus Okafor Staff Developer Advocate, Cloudreach Labs
EINREICHER-390 1786925885475 From the street
Wed 12 May, 09:00 – 09:30·Main Stage
A first-time speaker walk of the live call. What a person sees from the street to the receipt, then back to their own proposal after the organizers decide.
- 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.

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…

UPDATED: Taming 40-Minute CI: Incremental Builds at Monorepo Scale
Wed 12 May, 10:00 – 10:30·Room 2A
Our monorepo CI took 40 minutes on a good day. This talk walks through how we cut it to 6 minutes with content-addressed caching, remote execution, and a test-selection model —…

Your AI Pair Programmer Is Lying to You: Verification Patterns That Scale
Wed 12 May, 10:00 – 10:30·Room 2B
Code generation is easy; trusting it is hard. This session covers verification patterns for AI-generated code — property tests, mutation coverage, snapshot judges, and CI gates —…

- Developer Experience Lightning Talk
Docs That Answer Back: Retrieval-Grounded Documentation Sites
Wed 12 May, 10:00 – 10:10·Room 2A
A 10-minute tour of turning a static docs site into one that answers questions with citations, stays honest when it doesn't know, and costs under $50/month to run. Live demo, real…

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
- Platform & Infra Talk
Feature flags are a database problem
Wed 12 May, 11:30 – 12:00·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
- 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
Onboarding an engineer in a day
Wed 12 May, 14:00 – 14:30·Room 2B
We put a stopwatch on the first merged pull request and treated every hour as a bug. Eleven days down to one, and the three fixes that did most of it.
- Joon-ho Park Engineering Manager, Harbour
- Developer Experience Talk
Golden paths, not golden handcuffs
Wed 12 May, 15:00 – 15:30·Workshop Lab
A paved road only works if leaving it is allowed. How we measured which teams stepped off ours, why they did, and what we changed instead of enforcing compliance.
Elena Vasquez Principal Designer, Cascade
- 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…

- Rafael Moreira Data Engineer, Aoi Systems

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.

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…
