Do business approaches work in the defense sector? How can convenience and security be balanced? We’ll share our experience of building, developing, and implementing the DOT-Chain infrastructure from scratch.

I will discuss modern video generation capabilities from text prompts and AI-assisted editing, leveraging my 17 years of video production experience. I will showcase key platforms and tools, share case studies of integrating AI into creators’ and product managers’ workflows, outline product opportunities and workflows for developers and video makers, and highlight priority directions for the development of AI-based video services.

Can you trust the cloud? Confidential Computing enables data protection even in fully controlled environments.

During the discussion, we’ll explore the capabilities of JavaScript, best practices, and current trends together with experienced experts.

I'll tell you about some of the problems faced by modern creative developers

The session covers architectural strategies that keep Elasticsearch stable under heavy load: proper index and shard design, ILM policies, persistent queues in Logstash, metrics downsampling, and self-monitoring of the observability stack. Insights are drawn from operating platforms that handle terabytes of logs and millions of events per day.

Design patterns like Event Sourcing and Event Streaming have long become standards for building real-time analytics systems. However, when the system load becomes nonlinear with fast and often unpredictable spikes, it's crucial to respond quickly in order not to lose real-time operating itself. In this talk, I’ll share my experience implementing and using a tool like Temporal.io. We'll explore the evolution of our system for maintaining real-time report generation and discuss how we use Temporal both for short-lived pipelines and long-running background tasks.

What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed. In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.

This talk is dedicated to the practical experience of transitioning from the classic Istio architecture with sidecar containers to a new model - Istio Ambient Mesh. We will tell how scaling a microservice infrastructure on Kubernetes led to increased resource costs, complicated CI/CD, and delays in launching services. The search for solutions led us to implement Ambient Mesh, an architecture without sidecar containers that greatly simplifies mesh integration and reduces infrastructure costs. The presentation will detail the technical aspects of the migration: how we prepared for the transition, what challenges we faced during the implementation process, and how we managed to overcome them in cooperation with the Istio community. We will share the results, analytics, real before/after metrics, and give practical advice to teams planning to implement Ambient Mesh in production.
