Abstract
As AI agents write more of the code Roblox engineers push, the hard part is no longer generating changes; it’s knowing which ones to trust. Every change passes through layers of autonomous verification, from understanding where it came from to reviewing it with the encoded judgment of our most experienced engineers, so it meets the same high bar no matter who or what wrote it. This talk shares the architectural principles behind that system, the design decisions that let it scale across thousands of PRs a day, and the lessons we learned along the way.
What attendees will learn:
- Tracing every agent-written change back to the model and harness that produced it, and catching regressions before engineers do, by reusing existing production observability infrastructure.
- Scaling expert judgment through exemplars in a multi-agent review system that stays fast and cost-efficient at volume and gets smarter with every review.
- Building a layered, risk-aware autonomous merge system that takes routine changes from prompt to prod on their own, while humans stay in the loop for everything else.

10:35 Ballroom BC Session Distributed Systems Live Resharding Without Regret: Lessons from Building Valkey's Atomic Slot Migration Jacob Murphy Open Source Maintainer @Valkey & Software Engineer @Google Cloud's Memorystore Team Sharding is easy. Resharding under heavy load is notoriously difficult. How do you move gigabytes of state across live database nodes without dropping keys, blocking the main event loop, or breaking client abstractions? 11:45 Ballroom BC Session Architecting Nubank's Global Financial Infrastructure Instant payment frameworks are transforming global finance, but few institutions have faced the infrastructure scale required by Brazil's Pix network. 13:35 Ballroom BC Session AI/ML How to Build a Real-Time Voice Agent Rishabh Bhargava Director of ML @Together AI A voice agent looks like a chatbot with a microphone. 14:45 Ballroom BC Session Inside the Disaggregated Architecture Serving LLM Inference Nancy Zheng VP of Engineering of AI Inference @Cerebras Every LLM request is really two very different jobs. Reading your prompt (prefill) is compute-intensive, while generating the response token by token (decode) is dominated by memory bandwidth. For years, the industry ran both phases on the same hardware and accepted the compromise. 15:55 Ballroom BC Session Generation Got Cheap, Trust Didn’t: Scaling Agentic Changes from Prompt to Prod at Roblox Kushan Mehta, Jay Moorthi As AI agents write more of the code Roblox engineers push, the hard part is no longer generating changes; it’s knowing which ones to trust. 17:05 Seacliff D Unconference Unconference: Architectures You've Always Wondered About
