Beyond Hype
An Engineering Approach to Evaluating Coding Assistants
SPEAKER: Robert Munteanu COMPANY: Adobe
KEYWORDS: AI, Tools
AI coding assistants are quickly becoming part of everyday development workflows, and teams are starting to invest in agent-specific tooling such as reusable skills, repository instructions, and external tool integrations. But before adopting or expanding that tooling, we should ask a basic engineering question: does it actually improve results? A higher task success rate is useful, but it is not enough on its own. Speed, cost, and reliability matter too.

Raft by Hand: What Lies Between the Paper and a Production Cluster
From Consensus Algorithm to a Reliable System in Production
SPEAKER: Felix Berger COMPANY: fbt Berger – Future Build Technology Berger
KEYWORDS: Architecture, Open Source, Tools
Anyone running Kubernetes, Kafka or Consul depends on a consensus algorithm every single day – most likely without ever having seen one. It is the reason a cluster can still agree on one shared truth when individual nodes fail or the network splits apart. And it is the reason two nodes must never both believe they are in charge.
Raft is considered one of the more approachable consensus algorithms. Leader election and log replication fit into a few pages of the paper. Between an understandable algorithm and a cluster you would trust with production data, however, lie a number of surprisingly hard details.
