Tejas Kumar
(DataStax),Imagine one day your team inherits a system that was built over 4 years by six different teams — just to test hypotheses. No documentation. Just a massive monorepo and Jenkins for deployment. That’s exactly what we were handed, and that’s when we decided to take full inventory — starting with Architecture as Code. In this talk, I’ll share how we approached architectural documentation systematically: from building C4 diagrams to creating Service Documentation, ERDs, and Sequence Diagrams. You’ll learn how we practically restored our understanding of the system, brought architectural clarity, and which tools (PlantUML, Mermaid) and methods worked best. This talk isn't just about diagrams — it's about surviving chaos, synchronizing a team, and driving architectural evolution through transparency.

(Solution Architect @ MacPaw),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.
Volodymyr Chugai
(Head of Product Management Department, DOT),Let's talk about our history. How we started the project with a small vector database of less than 2 million records. Later, we received a request for +100 million records, then another +100... And so gradually we reached almost 1 billion. Standard tools were quickly running out of steam - we were running into performance, index size, and very limited resources. After a long series of trials and errors, we built our own low-cost cluster, which today stably processes thousands of queries to more than 1B vectors.
Maksym Mova
(MacPaw, Engineering Manager),Among the countless lists of AI tools for marketing, many companies stick to the most obvious choices. But what if there are lesser-known yet far more effective tools that can completely transform your marketing approach? In this talk, I’ll share the real AI solutions my team and I use across different areas of marketing. I’ll explain how these tools help us optimize costs, boost efficiency, and significantly cut our marketing budget—honestly and without the clickbait!)
