About the track
Our modern software ecosystems require a diverse set of technology choices and programming languages, but that can be challenging for central platform teams to support. This track will examine how companies can strategically enable a "polyglot" approach to overcome limitations and foster innovation. Discover how embracing a variety of tools and methodologies enables teams to build more robust, scalable, and boundary-pushing solutions.

10:35 Ballroom BC Session AI Designing AI Platforms for Reliability: Tools for Certainty, Agents for Discovery Aaron Erickson Senior Manager and Founder of the DGX Cloud Applied AI Lab @NVIDIA, Previously Engineer @ThoughtWorks, VP of Engineering @New Relic, CEO and Co-Founder @Orgspace Modern AI platforms don’t have to choose between deterministic precision and probabilistic exploration—they need both. 11:45 Ballroom BC Session Fleet Management Confidently Automating Changes Across a Diverse Fleet Casey Bleifer Senior Software Engineer @Netflix Maintaining up-to-date and secure software across a polyglot fleet is a challenge for any engineering organization. Manual migrations and urgent updates disrupt productivity and require coordination across many teams. 13:35 Seacliff ABC Session AI/ML Secure Software Supply Chain: Risk Prediction at the Speed of Development Bishwajeet Paul Architect, Platform Engineering @JPMorgan Chase - Specializing in Solving Complex Challenges for the Developer Community The Platform That Sees Risk Before Code Does… 14:45 Pacific DEKJ Session CI/CD Keeping the Mainline Green Across Diverse Language Monorepos Dhruva Juloori Senior Software Engineer @Uber, Core Contributor to SubmitQueue (Uber's CI System at Scale), Expert in Machine Learning, Distributed Systems, and Developer Productivity At Uber’s scale, ensuring an always-green mainline while processing hundreds of changes per hour is a massive challenge— especially when those changes span multiple language monorepos supporting dozens of business-critical apps. 15:55 Seacliff ABC Session Rust Rust at the Core - Accelerating Polyglot SDK Development Spencer Judge Engineering Manager @Temporal Technologies, previously Senior Software Engineer @Transparent Systems, Senior Software Engineer @ Tableau Software Developing SDKs for your users in multiple languages can come at a high cost - especially if you need to implement complex logic client side, but traditionally options for sharing logic across those languages have been quite limited. 17:05 Ballroom A Session Vibe Coding Directing a Swarm of Agents for Fun and Profit Adrian Cockcroft Technology Advisor and Consultant @OrionX.net, Previously VP Open Source and Sustainability @Amazon, Cloud Architect @Netflix, Distinguished Engineer @eBay Coding agents are a new tool, which many of us are trying to figure out how to use effectively.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.
