Abstract
SS&C Technologies runs 47 trillion dollars of assets on our global private cloud. We have the primitives for infrastructure as well as platforms as a service like Kubernetes, Kafka, NiFi, Databases, etc. A year ago we broke ground and went live with AI as a service providing RAG, inference for embeddings, LLM text, image and voice and we needed an efficient and low TCO platform to power the needs of the business. Our centralized AI Gateway has a prioritized job scheduler that we wrote and we will discuss how over 300 production use cases run workloads in a way that provide the SLAs for the demands required while keeping the GPU costs down. We also run on AWS around the globe and will discuss how the platform works in a multi cloud environment also keeping costs down in different ways in AWS while also meeting SLAs.
Topics
QCon San Francisco 2025 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.

10:35 Ballroom A Session AI/ML Producing the World's Cheapest Tokens: A How-to Guide Meryem Arik Co-Founder and CEO @Doubleword (Previously TitanML), Recognized as a Technology Leader in Forbes 30 Under 30, Recovering Physicist AI inference is expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In this talk, we’ll break down how to systematically drive down the cost per token across different types of AI workloads. 11:45 Ballroom A Session Capacity Planning How Netflix Shapes our Fleet for Efficiency and Reliability Joseph Lynch, Argha C Netflix runs on a complex multi-layer cloud architecture made up of thousands of services, caches, and databases. As hardware options, workload patterns, cost dynamics and the Netflix products evolve, the cost-optimal hardware and configuration for running our services is constantly changing. 13:35 Ballroom A Session AI Architecture Realtime and Batch Processing of GPU Workloads Joseph Stein Principal Architect of Research & Development @SS&C Technologies, Previous Apache Kafka Committer and PMC Member SS&C Technologies runs 47 trillion dollars of assets on our global private cloud. We have the primitives for infrastructure as well as platforms as a service like Kubernetes, Kafka, NiFi, Databases, etc. 14:45 Ballroom A Session Architecture From ms to µs: OSS Valkey Architecture Patterns for Modern AI Dumanshu Goyal Uber Technical Lead @Airbnb Powering $11B Transactions, Formerly @Google and @AWS As AI applications demand faster and more intelligent data access, traditional caching strategies are hitting performance and reliability limits. 15:55 Ballroom A Session Platform Engineering Write-Ahead Intent Log: A Foundation for Efficient CDC at Scale Vinay Chella, Akshat Goel As companies grow, so does the complexity of keeping distributed systems in sync. At DoorDash, we tackled this challenge while building a high-throughput, domain-oriented data platform for capturing changes across hundreds of services.
