Raj Ummadisetty and Ken Kurzweil share Netflix's architectural pivot to CloudStream, a repeatable capture, conversion, and deployment framework. They discuss shifting key-value abstractions from stateless to stateful to move terabytes of bulk data safely. Software architects will learn to exploit data access patterns, use "Pathfinder" prototypes, and maintain a 99% faster rollout. By Rajasekhar Ummadisetty, Ken Kurzweil

Cindy Zhang discusses the evolution of XDS, a unified UI system powering 10,000+ internal tools. She shares actionable insights for architects and engineering leaders on managing large-scale community contributions, executing safe monorepo refactors using JS AST and AI codemods, mitigating breaking changes via feature flags, and expanding UI libraries into full-stack platform systems.

LinkedIn’s Karthik Ramgopal and Prince Valluri discuss leveraging AI as a new execution model for large-scale engineering. They explain how to move beyond fragmented implementations by building platform abstractions for orchestration, structured context, and safe tooling like MCP. They share architectural insights from real-world coding, observation, and UI testing agents built at LinkedIn. By Karthik Ramgopal, Prince Valluri

Shopify Staff Engineer Guilherme Carreiro discusses building and scaling highly customizable platforms. Using Shopify’s Liquid theme system as a case study, he explains how to balance extreme design flexibility with low-latency performance under massive traffic. He shares insights on implementing secure domain-specific languages, native code extensions, and resilient developer tooling. By Guilherme Carreiro

Joseph Stein discusses engineering an enterprise AI-as-a-Service platform within a private cloud data center. He explains how to maximize underutilized GPU pools via multi-namespace scheduling, leverage Valkey and Lua for atomic priority queuing and backpressure management, mitigate OWASP Top 10 LLM risks via central proxy gateways, and scale batch pipelines using a custom S3-to-Kafka proxy.
