DESCRIPTION:## TLDR\;\nAn advanced exploration of war stories from buildin
 g caching systems at a decacorn.\n\n## Description\nThere is a reason why 
 the following quote is famous:\n\n“There are only two hard things in Com
 puter Science: cache invalidation and naming things.” — Phil Karlton\n
 \nCaching is everywhere\; it could be a simple system of storing only the 
 most popular books in a shop and keeping all other books in the backroom\,
  or the sophisticated ways we build caching in software systems. This rang
 es from a simple cache layer on top of a database to using complex data st
 ructures like bloom filters as a cache for more expensive checks to the st
 orage layer.\n\n\n## Topics Covered\n### Ways & Wins\nExploring various fo
 rms of caching systems\, characteristics of a caching system and numerous 
 innovative ways a caching system gets deployed at scale.\n\nExamples: Mult
 iple cache layers\, efficiency gains\, eviction policies\, metrics\, consi
 stency\, Saving on latency\, saving on cost\, serving as a fallback\, pred
 ictable response times\, improved resiliency.\n\n### Woes & Weird\nDespite
  the benefits\, caching systems can introduce complexities and challenges 
 that require careful consideration. They also surface unusual and unexpect
 ed behaviors that emerge when working with caching systems at scale in ter
 ms of use cases and scale.\n\nExamples: Cache Stampede\, Bi-Modal Behavior
 \, Timeout Propagation Issues\, Cache Poisoning\, Key Collisions\, Caching
  Increasing Response Time\, Infinite Loops on Cache Invalidation\, Negativ
 e Caching\, Self-Immolating Caches\, Cache Misses Triggering Batch Jobs\n\
 n### Wisdom\nBest practices and lessons learned from building and maintain
 ing caching systems.\n\nExamples: Effective Key Management\, Monitoring an
 d Profiling\, Handling Cache Errors Gracefully\, Avoiding Misuse of Cachin
 g Systems\, Data Serialization Strategies\n\n## Target Audience & Prerequi
 sites\nThe talk targets slightly experienced folks (1–2+ years of experi
 ence in backend) or even those who are early in their career if they have 
 spent some time in systems thinking.\n\nIn terms of prerequisites\, AWS ha
 s built a set of pretty good resources around caching: https://aws.amazon.
 com/caching/. The Systems Design Roadmap also provides a path to start mor
 e research around caching: https://roadmap.sh/system-design.\n\nFor those 
 interested in a more advanced perspective\, this paper is a very good entr
 y point around patterns and behaviors observed when managing large-scale c
 aching systems (both in terms of infrastructure and various use cases): ht

DESCRIPTION:Startups must move fast. Does this mean compromising on securi
 ty? Everyone will choose security but no startup will have the resources t
 o establish a matured security program from inception. How do you move fas
 t while staying secure even when you have code contributions from interns\
 , software engineers of different experience levels and multi tasking foun
 ders? \n\nThis talk will share the real world experiences gathered while t
 ackling security in an early stage startup. We will focus on application s
 ecurity only and rely on fundamental security controls such as Authenticat
 ion\, Authorization\, Input Validation\, Data Validation\, Multi-Tenancy\,
  Resource Limits\, Auditing and Observability. All of these built as part 
 of the application development framework and used declaratively by enginee
 rs while developing a feature. Examples will be in Go but the patterns dis
 cussed can be applied in any language or framework.\n\nKey take-aways from
  this talk:\n\n- Using Protocol Buffers & gRPC for API spec based developm
 ent\n- Declarative input validation using protocol buffers\n- Declarative 
 authentication & authorization\n- Hooking into API adapters (ConnectRPC) t
 o enforce security controls\n- Hooking into the ORM for multi-tenancy & re
 source limits\n- Security observability using metrics\n\nThis talk is inte
 nded for\n\n- Startup CTO / Head of Engineering\n- Platform / Security / S
 oftware Engineers\n\nWhile the title indicates startup\, this talk should 
 be useful for any security & engineering team who believes in proactive se
 curity controls built within the internal developer platform.

DESCRIPTION:### Abstract\nWhen most companies talk about Kubernetes adopti
 on\, they talk about the stateless aspect. However most of them shy away f
 rom Kubernetes when it comes to the stateful part. In this talk we will ex
 plore why Flipkart chose to move to stateful K8s for databases\, the chall
 enges we faced in this journey and the road ahead.\n\nThis talk will cover
  some of the key technical investments Flipkart has made over the last cou
 ple of years and how some of them are shaping up in significantly improvin
 g productivity of our engineering teams.\n\nAll of the content covered in 
 this talk is coming from real world usage of production databases on K8s s
 tateful at a massive scale over the last 3+ years. \n\n### Key Takeaways\n
 - Learn how to evaluate what makes sense for your Organisation's database 
 stack - should you continue to be on VMs or move to K8s.\n- Get real insig
 hts into the many of the *unexpected* challenges K8s poses when you start 
 managing large fleets of data.\n- Learn about Flipkart's Hybrid Cloud (Fli
 pkart Cloud Platform + Google Cloud Platform) and how we view BCP-DR.\n\n#
 ## Audience\n- **DBAs / DBRE Engineers**: Individuals who are also databas
 e wizards and would like to know how their world is quickly evolving.\n- *
 *Engineering Leaders**: Leaders who are responsible for taking decisions o
 n long term technical investments\, specifically on the cost vs availabili
 ty or build vs buy aspects for databases.\n- **Cloud Architects and Engine
 ers**: Individuals who are responsible for designing\, implementing\, and 
 managing cloud-based infrastructure and applications.\n- **Technically Cur
 ious**: Anyone and everyone who is technically curious about K8s or Hybrid
  Cloud or Databases. This talk will attempt to cover a lot of advanced con
 cepts in an easy to understand way.

SUMMARY:Bridging the gap: building OpenTelemetry pipelines for observabili

DESCRIPTION:\n### Introduction\n\n  The observability stack in modern orga
 nizations often consists of multiple vendors handling logs\, metrics\, and
  traces. This results in inconsistent data formats and conventions\, incre
 asing the operational overhead of maintaining these pipelines. \n\nSREs mu
 st navigate various agents\, each with its debugging methods. Integrated s
 olutions that combine logs\, metrics\, and traces tend to use proprietary 
 formats\, leading to vendor lock-in. These all-in-one solutions often prov
 ide only the most basic features\, creating gaps in production observabili
 ty.\n\nThe OpenTelemetry (OTel) project aims to address these issues. As o
 ne of the largest CNCF projects in the observability space\, it offers a u
 nified agent that uses open standards to collect and send logs\, metrics\,
  and traces. OTel supports multiple observability backends\, reducing the 
 complexity and avoiding vendor lock-in.\n\n### What are the building block
 s of OTel?\n\n  OTel can be overwhelming for beginners due to its many ter
 minologies and steep learning curve. We will learn the essential basics yo
 u need to know to set up your own OpenTelemetry pipeline.\n\n### What does
  it take to run OTel in production?\n\n  OTel's adoption is still evolving
 \, and while there are many resources available\, structured guidance on r
 unning it in production is sometimes hard to find. We will explore how to 
 architect systems handling terabytes of production data through OTel pipel
 ines. Some examples of these systems include:\n\n  - **Datadog agents** pe
 rforming dual writes to both Datadog and OTel-supported backends.\n  - **T
 hird-party solutions** streaming data to AWS S3\, which is then pushed to 
 OTel-supported backends (an approach used by platforms like Cloudflare and
  Fastly).\n  - Leveraging **AWS S3 as cold storage** to rehydrate your obs
 ervability backend when needed.\n  - **Integrating open-source shippers** 
 like Fluentd and Logstash with OTel for seamless data flow.\n\n### Key tak
 eaways for the Audience\n\n- **Clear understanding of OTel building blocks
 **: A straightforward explanation of the essential components of OpenTelem
 etry.\n- **Integrating OTel in production**: Practical guidance on how to 
 implement OTel for various production workloads.\n- **Architectural design
  patterns**:  Design patterns for setting up OpenTelemetry in different sy
 stem architectures.\n- **Migrating from proprietary solutions to OTel**: O
 verview of the approaches taken to migrate from vendor-specific observabil
 ity tools to OpenTelemetry.\n- **Reference setups**: I will share a github
  repository for most of the above OTel configurations.\n

DESCRIPTION:**Abstract**:\nCI systems are the security orchestration centr
 e of the SDLC but CI itself has become an attack surface as Solarwinds and
  Codecov attacks have shown.\n\nBOLT: https://github.com/koalalab-inc/bolt
  an OSS tool\, secures CI runtime/build time from two attack vectors: \n1.
  Secret Exfiltration and\n2. Build Tampering.\n\nBOLT instruments an egres
 s gateway and auditd rules. Egress gateway enables BOLT to filter outbound
  traffic. Auditd logs are used to monitor for any kind of source/build tam
 pering.\n\nFurthermore\, egress-filter itself has many other nuances. The 
 outbound traffic from the build system can go to **multi-tenant systems** 
 like GitHub\, DockerHub\, JFrog etc. Ensuring only the trusted tenants are
  being called in egress calls is necessary to ensure security. \n\nBOLT in
 struments **eBPF probes** to do **deep SSL inspection of egress traffic**.
  Applying destination aware rules on top of deep SSL inspection enables BO
 LT to trust tenants across multi-tenant systems like GitHub/DockerHub/JFro
 g.\n\n![image](https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/149300820

DESCRIPTION:# Overview:\n\nThis tech talk proposes to dive into the evolut
 ion of Tecton’s real-time compute stack\, a journey that started with si
 decar processes\, moved through serverless architecture\, and ultimately m
 atured into a native service deployed on virtual machines (VMs). The sessi
 on will (hopefully) outline the challenges\, lessons learned\, and enginee
 ring decisions made at each stage.\n\nI'd like to have the following rough
  sections:\n\n## Background and Context:\n - Tecton’s Realtime Data Stac
 k: Introduce Tecton and its real-time data processing requirements for mac
 hine learning (ML) and feature serving\, including how tecton executes use
 r-defined post processing code in realtime feature retreival APIs.\n - Ini
 tial Architecture - Sidecar Process: Explain how the compute stack initial
 ly relied on a sidecar model\, what this architecture entailed\, and its a
 dvantages in simplicity and quick iteration during early-stage development
 .\n\n## Challenges with Sidecar Processes:\n- Resource Contention: Describ
 e the limitations of running sidecars alongside primary services\, especia
 lly concerning resource isolation\, security posture\, network latencies\,
  and scaling issues.\n- Operational Complexity: How managing large-scale\,
  sidecar-based microservices introduced operational overhead and complexit
 y.\n- Poor customer experience: Tecton dictated the environment/available 
 libraries. Users couldn't customize this because the environment was baked
  into our service code.\n\n## Moving to Serverless Functions:\n- The Appea
 l of Serverless: Discuss the decision to explore serverless functions (AWS
  Lambda) to handle real-time compute\, reducing the overhead of managing s
 ervers and improving cost efficiency.\n- We  utilized AWS Lambda to execut
 e aforementioned user-defined post processing code.\n- We **_also_** exten
 ded our usage of AWS Lambda to build an API-driven ingestion service.\n- *
 Benefits*: Elastic scaling\, more flexible and user-managed python environ
 ments for their postprocessing code\, and better security posture.\n- *Lim
 itations* Cold starts\, poor performance even with warm starts\, concurren
 cy limits\, debugging complexities\, vendor lock-in. These challenges affe
 cted our real-time SLAs and generally led to poor user experience.\n\n## E
 volution to Native Service on VMs:\n- What did we get wrong about serverle
 ss?\n  -  For customers\, performance is paramount.\n  -  In our case\, wi
 th a strict SLA but diverse workloads\, serverless implementations are a n
 on-started. The variance in latencies even in the happy path is too large.
 \n  -  The cost for lambda functions is actually higher than a lean servic
 e serving the same workload. Execution times were higher on Lambda.\n  -  
 Embedding state in Lambda (using Lambda layers) is high friction. Users ch
 anges take multiple minutes to reflect in their production workload. This 
 is too long.\n- The Shift to Native Services: After outgrowing serverless 
 solutions\, explain the move towards a native service on VMs. This section
  will cover why VMs were chosen over containers or Kubernetes in this spec
 ific case.\n- *Performance Gains*: Far reduced latencies\, better control 
 over resource allocation\, and improved predictability of performance for 
 real-time ML feature serving. All while providing the same (in fact\, bett
 er) user product experience.\n- Operational Improvements: Describe how the
  switch to VMs simplified monitoring\, debugging\, and scaling at the infr
 astructure level.\n- Cloud portablility. With the right abstractions in pl
 ace\, we were able to deploy these services to GCP with very little lift.\
 n\n## Technical Challenges and Lessons Learned:\n- Architectural Trade-off
 s: Key trade-offs between these architectures (sidecars vs. serverless vs.
  VMs)\, specifically as interpreted by us.\n- Product lessons learned\n## 
 Future Directions:\n- Long-term vision\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Abstractions are great! They help us think without being overw
 helmed by details. But sometimes they can come at the cost of understandin
 g\, where they become a wall that we don't wish to climb. That limits us\,
  because when they change\, a lot of us can't keep up.\n\nIn this talk\, I
  make the following assertions:\n1. In the last 10-15 yrs\, progress of ac
 cessibility (the good part) in tech via frameworks\, languages and best pr
 actices\, has come at the cost of lesser awareness of internals (the bad p
 art).\n2. Every abstraction has a half life\, stemming from the environmen
 t that birthed it\, in the sense that when that environment changes\, so d
 oes the relevance of that abstraction. 2-3 half lives in\, people overly r
 eliant on that abstraction can find themselves _stuck_.\n3. Timing seems r
 ipe for a change in bunch of different abstractions\, thanks to some excit
 ing progress in both hardware & software\, of which I'll share a few examp
 les.\n4. Preparing ourselves with foundational knowledge allows us to be b
 etter prepared for\, and make the most of these changes.\n

DESCRIPTION:What can a bored hacker do with $5? They can do one of the bel
 ow - buy a coffee\, subscribe to some video streaming service or make your
  company bleed 10s to 100s of dollars in cloud bills. \n\nWhile the majori
 ty of companies are already on cloud or have a hybrid cloud setup\, one mu
 st understand that cloud environments are different organisms compared to 
 data centers. It can massively scale your infrastructure. It can massively
  scale your cloud bills as well - pushing your company anywhere between hu
 ge expenses to the brink of bankruptcy.\n\nThis research based talk shines
  light on an underrated bug class specific to cloud environments\, often r
 eferred to as “denial of wallet” (DoW) or “exhaustion of wallet”\,
  among different cloud providers and cloud services.\n\nThe talk tries to 
 answer the reasons why this bug class exists\, public examples of these at
 tacks in the past and the different cloud and VPS providers that are vulne
 rable to this bug class. The talk will also highlight possible solutions t
 hat can be implemented on both sides of the shared responsibility model to
  detect and mitigate bug class - showing ways to mitigate damage from an a
 ttacker willing to spend $500 against your infrastructure.\n\nKey Takeaway
 s: The root cause of DoW\, different services from different cloud provide
 rs that are affected by this issue\, possible solutions to detect and miti
 gate this bug class.\n\nAudience Segment this talk is going to benefit: Cl
 oud Architects\, Cloud Engineers & Cloud Security Professionals.

DESCRIPTION:Optimizing cloud costs isn't just about deploying tools and ap
 plying technical best practices—it's fundamentally tied to a shift in or
 ganizational culture\, a strategic and deep understanding of latest techno
 logy\, and the identification of both quick wins and long-term investment 
 areas.\n\nIn this session\, through the lens of what transpired in Sharech
 at\, a startup that has every-thing going for it\, billion $ plus investme
 nts\, 50% week-over-week user growth and which quickly became one of GCP's
  largest APAC (Asia-pacific) cloud deployments\, we will go over the key i
 nsights learnt in undertaking this massive cost reduction journey where we
  reduced cloud infrastructure costs from an ARR of 150M USD to < 25M fraug
 ht with very interesting organizational \, cultural and hugely complex tec
 hnical challenges.\n\n**Key Takeaways** \n* When scale hits\, cloud cost b
 urns.  Through this talk\, I will share insights on how to avoid/mitigate 
 this. Adopting cultural changes in your organization is critical to create
  long term sustainability for cloud costs. Specifically I will deep dive i
 nto\n   - Balancing between growth/product initiatives vs optimization and
  aligning business leaders \n    - Fostering a culture of ownership\, acco
 untability and incentivization amongst engineers.\n   - Design cost contro
 ls so that cost doesnt claw back.\n\n* As companies focus on trying to ach
 ieve PMF\, a lot of bad Design and Architectural decisions get taken which
  gets exposed when scale increases. In this session I  will share insights
  around the following aspects to help you arrive at the right decisions.\n
   - Cloud pitfalls to avoid\n  - Technologies that are hard to get right a
 nd require heavy investment.\n  - Optimization areas where there are quick
  ROI\n  - Adopting evolutionary architectures\n\n**Audience**\n * **Engine
 ering Leaders**: Captains who can take-back insights from this talk and ge
 t to apply in their ever-growing ship.\n* **Cloud Architects and Engineers
 **: Individuals who are responsible for designing\, and managing cloud-bas
 ed infrastructure and applications.

DESCRIPTION:## Abstract\nMonitoring and observability tools are a cornerst
 one in debugging processing for any large organization.\n\nThe current sta
 te of log query languages and interfaces in popular log analysis tools pre
 sents significant usability challenges that hinder productivity\, such as 
 a lack of standardized query languages\, steep learning curves\, and high 
 complexity.\n\nLarge Language Models\, while promising for log analysis\, 
 parsing\, and summarization\, haven't quite been explored for log search.\
 n\nThis talk covers our study of creating the first text-to-logql dataset\
 , fine-tuning LLMs for [LogQL](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/query/
 )\, Grafana's Log Query Language\; and evaluating various approaches to us
 ing LLMs to write LogQL queries.\n\nWe have been working on a paper on the
  same topic and are excited to share our learnings with fellow systems ner
 ds!\n\n## Key Takeaways\n- Various challenges to using LLMs to solve log s
 earch problems.\n- Evaluation and performance of various fine-tuned models
  and approaches for LogQL.\n- How to build a dataset for a domain-specific
  language from scratch!\n- How this fits in with a bigger goal of making a
  semantic search engine for observability data.\n\n## Audience\n- Anybody 
 who has written a LogQL/DatadogQL/SPL query recently and used or thought a
 bout using LLMs for it.\n- Systems & Infra engineers interested in LLMs fo
 r observability.

DESCRIPTION:Large language models (LLMs) are known to generate unintended 
 inaccurate responses\, often called hallucinations. Most of these are harm
 less mistakes\, like Google AI Overview suggesting to eat a rock a day. Th
 ere's a more concerning possibility: what if an attacker could deliberatel
 y cause specific hallucinations? This could allow the stealthy spread of t
 argeted disinformation.\n\nOur talk will introduce the concept of indirect
  prompt injections and show how malicious documents can be crafted to trig
 ger particular hallucinations when added to a vector database. We'll demon
 strate case studies of proof-of-concept attacks on popular LLM chatbots li
 ke Notion AI\, Microsoft Copilot\, and Slack AI. Finally\, we'll explore s
 ecure design principles and tools to defend against these hidden threats.\
 n\nThis talk is designed for a diverse audience in the AI field. It will b
 e particularly valuable for AI engineers working on LLM applications\, AI 
 security engineers focused on protecting these systems\, product managers 
 overseeing AI-powered products\, and C-level executives making strategic d
 ecisions about AI implementation and security. Whether you're hands-on wit
 h the technology or guiding its use at a high level\, you'll gain crucial 
 insights into this emerging threat and its implications.\n\n## Key takeawa
 ys:\n1. Understand the mechanics of indirect prompt injections and their p
 otential for causing targeted hallucinations in popular LLM applications\n
 2. Learn practical strategies and tools to protect AI systems against mali
 cious hallucinations and enhance overall AI security

DESCRIPTION:Tsunami Traffic\, Traffic Avalanche\, Hockey Stick Curve are s
 ome of the common terms laid out as the benchmark for developing systems a
 t scale.\nAs the first hire for the Jiocinema Devops team @ Viacom18 I got
  the opportunity to work on breaking these benchmarks while maintaining ou
 r Infrastructure on a cluster of Kubernetes clusters \;)\n\n# The match ou
 tside the field\nIn my talk I'll dwell into my experience with planning an
 d execution of the infrastructure for IPL 2023 and 2024. Will highlight ke
 y insights and learnings with special focus on below areas:\n\n1. The prep
 aration for large scale events begin months in advance when we regrously t
 est the infra components and capacity planning to handle the load.\n2. Vis
 ibility on every single component becomes very crucial at scale\, auto dis
 covery helps with that.\n3. Contingency planning is crucial and even a bac
 kup plan should have a backup plan. Your SLAs should be defined and met.\n
 \n# Key Takeaways\n1. Scaling strategies for multiple kubernetes cluster d
 uring high traffic events\n2. Proactive monitoring and alert systems\n3. P
 reemptive planning and failovers mechanisms\n\n# Target Audience\n1. SREs\
 , Devops and Platform engineers\n2. Anyone who loves cricket (everyone\, d
 uh?)

DESCRIPTION:Java is not what we think of immediately when it comes to low-
 latency applications - this is typically the realm of C/C++/Rust\, etc. In
  E6data\, we use Java in many parts of the engine and have successfully us
 ed it in cases where we need  high performance and low latency.\n\nIn this
  talk\, we explore some of the techniques we use in E6data to achieve low 
 latencies.\n\nThese techniques will range from techniques to minimise GC\,
  writing CPU cache efficient code\, threading and concurrency techniques\,
  benchmarking and profiling\, etc. \n\n\nKEY TAKEAWAYS:\n\n1. Get an insig
 ht into some of the techniques for achieving low latency in modern CPU har
 dware\n\n2. Explore how we could implement some of these techniques in Jav
 a\n\n\nAUDIENCE:\n\nDevelopers / enthusiasts working on applications with 
 low latency characteristics or just interested in how would one achieve lo
 w latency.

DESCRIPTION:LLMs and generative AI have made their way into our day-to-day
  operations. While the wrappers over GPT are a good starting point\, I was
  intrigued by what it takes for an SRE to understand the domain\, identify
  its operational aspects\, and build runbooks around running self-hosted L
 LM models.\n\nCurrently\, too many models are built\, but very few are in 
 production. While many companies are trying to streamline the toolchain\, 
 it is still nascent. The body of work I will discuss is an experiment to b
 uild an understanding of the LLMOps ecosystem.\n\nWe built an internal ser
 ver setup and have explored deploying the models on GPUs instead of relyin
 g on OpenAI.\n\nGoals:\n\n1. Learn the domain from first principles.\n2. B
 uild practices around running models on Kubernetes with GPUs.\n3. Know wha
 t it takes to run and manage Vector databases for storing embeddings.\n4. 
 Use the above knowledge to build and produce RAG applications.\n\nWhat was
  our learning curve:\n\n1. Take the basic concepts of the domain and build
  a mental model of the toolchain and ecosystem.\n2. Explore platforms like
  Ray/Kuberay and model repositories like HuggingFace. Understand their usa
 ge from operational aspects.\n3. Learn basic models like Phi3 and evolve t
 o using advanced models like Llama3.1.\n4. Understand the pipeline from a 
 developer perspective - using frameworks like Langchain\, finding its limi
 tations\, and shifting our codebase to LlamIndex.\n5. Start with toy appli
 cations to explore each tool individually. After gaining a basic understan
 ding\, we moved to building an RAG application for internal usage - we bui
 lt a resume filter application.\n6. Dogfooded it internally and learned mo
 re about prompt engineering\, vector embeddings\, and databases like QDran
 t.\n\nWhat will you gain from this talk:\n\n1. How should you approach thi
 s domain if you are managing backend systems - Our learnings were less fro
 m a pure development view and more from a "How will I run this in producti
 on?" lens.\n2. What does it take to build your home lab\, and where can yo
 u save costs - Is the public cloud cheaper\, or if you are an org thinking
  of investing in the domain\, does buying your hardware make sense?\n3. Th
 e domain of LLMOps is developing\, and we are trying to learn it through e
 xperimentation. You will also gain a perspective and an approach to experi
 menting through this landscape.\n\nThis talk benefits software engineers a
 t all levels but is especially relevant for SRE and DevOps practitioners.

CREATED:20241109T163839Z
DESCRIPTION:The talk will deep dive into how we built DiceDB and made it a
  truly real-time reactive database by eliminating polling inefficiencies. 
 The talk will touch on the internal arch of Redis\, persistent connections
 \, and leveraging Pub/Sub patterns to enable instantaneous data flow at lo
 w latency and high throughput.\n\nThe talk will be focussed on the core de
 sign decisions of DiceDB that enabled us to build efficient query subscrip
 tions using `.WATCH` commands and the inner components like query fingerpr
 ints\, subscription maps\, and the database watcher. The difference in use
 r experience and ease of building will be demonstrated through a real-time
  leaderboard example.\n\nUltimately\, the audience will get a solid unders
 tanding of the foundational work that makes DiceDB real-time and reactive.
  Some key takeaways are\n\n- the internal architecture of Redis\n- challen
 ges with building 1:n fanout with poll-based system\n- how we re-architect
 ed it to make a push-based\n- key design principles behind `.WATCH` comman
 ds for query subscriptions and real-time data updates\n\nThis talk is idea
 l for backend engineers\, database enthusiasts\, system architects\, and t
 echnical leads working on real-time\, data-intensive applications. It will
  particularly resonate with engineers already familiar with Redis. It’s 
 also highly relevant for developers working on large-scale distributed sys
 tems or infrastructure teams looking to optimize performance and responsiv
 eness in high-concurrency environments.
