Building a Supercluster: What We Learned When We Hit Cloud Provider Limits
Abstract
We hit the ceiling of what major cloud providers could offer—hard limits, quota caps, and regional restrictions that no amount of budget could fix. So, we built our own supercluster.
This talk walks through the challenges that forced that decision, the architectural tradeoffs we made, and the lessons learned from running it under real, production-scale workloads. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when your infrastructure outgrows the cloud, this session will take you there

Make Mechanical Advantage YOUR Advantage: How to Modernize and Futureproof Your Code with OpenRewrite
Tuesday Nov 18 / 05:05PM PST
Modernizing large codebases is tough—outdated frameworks, security fixes, and deprecated APIs drain engineering time and slow innovation. In this session, we’ll explore how to apply “Mechanical Advantage” in software: small, precise changes that deliver big results.

Vibes Won't Cut It: Agentic Engineering in Production
Tuesday Nov 18 / 11:45AM PST
If you think AI agents code like junior engineers that's because you set it up to code like a junior engineer. AI is a tool, not a magic wand, and like any tool you need to take time to learn and sharpen it.
