This led to the birth of Flow\, our in-house platform built on the foundat ion of powerful open-source technologies such as Argo Workflows\, Rollouts \, and Helm to automate software delivery for containerized applications a t scale. \n\nIn this session\, we'll delve into our journey of building an d scaling Flow to support 8K pipelines per day and 4K rollouts\, managing 3K production services with 2K tenants. \n\n\nWe will share our experience s and learnings in implementing progressive delivery at scale\, leveraging canary deployments for 6K+ releases using Helm and Argo Rollout. Furtherm ore\, we'll discuss how we've evolved our deployment governance capabiliti es in Flow\, moving towards enhanced control and visibility with our Deplo yment Governance initiative. This includes deployment aware blocking rules and guardrails.\n\n\nWe'll also highlight the key capabilities that Flow provides\, including end-to-end CI/CD with progressive delivery\, environm ent management\, policy gates\, deployment approvals\, deployment guardrai ls\, artifact promotion\, and multi-region deployments. Expect insights in to upcoming features like Single Box NFRs\, VM provisioning and deployment s via Flow.\n\n\n\n**Key Takeaways:**\n\n- Understand the practical consid erations and architectural decisions involved in building a reliable and s calable CI/CD platform leveraging open-source technologies.\n\n- Learn str ategies for optimizing progressive delivery workflows utilizing Helm and A rgo Rollout for efficient and safer releases.\n\n- Gain insights into how to implement and evolve deployment governance mechanisms to enforce polici es and provide better control and visibility over deployments.\n\n\n\n**Au dience:**\nThis talk is specifically designed for software developers and architects who are involved in building and deploying applications in prod uction environments and are looking to build or improve their organization 's CI/CD platforms.\n\n\n**Bio:**\n\nI'm a Software Engineer at Flipkart\, and I've been actively involved in the development and evolution of Flow for the past three years.

From malicious open-source packages to compromised build pipelines\, modern thr eats often go undetected until it’s too late. This talk walks through *w hy* traditional scanning misses these attacks\, and how we can catch them at runtime using eBPF — a powerful\, low-level observability tool built into the Linux kernel.\n\nWe’ll explore how eBPF can trace suspicious be havior like unexpected network calls or file access from compromised build s\, all without modifying the application. Along the way\, we’ll break d own where existing eBPF-based tools fall short\, how to build a custom run time monitoring layer that’s optimized for detecting supply chain tamper ing\, and what practical alternatives exist if you can't yet run eBPF at s cale. Expect live examples\, real-world attack patterns\, and a peek into what it takes to operationalize this in production systems.\n\n### **Key T akeaways:** \n- Why static supply chain security is not enough — and wh ere runtime observability fits in. \n- How to build scalable eBPF-based d efenses to detect malicious behavior after deployment.\n\n### **Audience:* * \nThis session is ideal for platform engineers\, product security teams \, SREs\, and DevSecOps professionals working on securing CI/CD pipelines\ , containers\, and cloud-native infra. If you're thinking beyond scanners and want to know *what really runs in prod*\, this is for you.\n\n### **Sp eaker Bio:** \nI’m currently a Product Security Engineer at Groww\, a B lackHat speaker\, a top bug bounty hunter at Meta\, and an active open sou rce contributor. My work sits at the intersection of code\, runtime\, and security — where offensive research meets practical defense.\n\nI specia lize in building scalable security tooling that helps organizations detect and respond to modern threats across CI/CD pipelines\, production infrast ructure\, and cloud-native environments. Whether it’s analyzing source c ode\, tracing runtime behavior with eBPF\, or hunting vulnerabilities in t he wild\, I bring a hands-on\, attacker-informed mindset to everything I d o.\n\n GEO:12.9666826;77.6352903 LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T130224Z LOCATION:Supply Chain Security and AI/GenAI for Security track (Seminar ha lls on the 1st floor) - Bangalore International Centre (BIC)\nBengaluru\nI N ORGANIZER;CN=Rootconf:MAILTO:no-reply@hasgeek.com URL:https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/2025/schedule/from-dependency-to-deceptio n-uncovering-supply-chain-attacks-with-ebpf-DKGpkryFB54qU9udPCP9xM BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Hiding in plain sight — can eBPF find them? in Supply Chain Security and AI/GenAI for Security track (Seminar halls on the 1st floor) in 5 minutes TRIGGER:-PT5M END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Transition DTSTART:20250517T045000Z DTEND:20250517T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260421T143615Z UID:session/5PcCmFFmvjrQxspuobsSA3@hasgeek.com SEQUENCE:9 CREATED:20250503T095737Z GEO:12.9666826;77.6352903 LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T062801Z LOCATION:Platform Engineering track (Auditorium on the ground floor) - Ban galore International Centre (BIC)\nBengaluru\nIN ORGANIZER;CN=Rootconf:MAILTO:no-reply@hasgeek.com BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Transition in Platform Engineering track (Auditorium on the gr ound floor) in 5 minutes TRIGGER:-PT5M END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Demo: From noise to signal: piping your way to clear observability DTSTART:20250517T050000Z DTEND:20250517T052000Z DTSTAMP:20260421T143615Z UID:session/DYpYLvfa1dFxJ3QqbSLYgJ@hasgeek.com SEQUENCE:16 CATEGORIES:Observability,30 mins talk,Rootconf Annual Conference 2025 CREATED:20250503T101333Z DESCRIPTION:# Streamlining Telemetry Data with Observability Pipelines\n## Introduction\nImagine you're running a cloud-native system. Everything se ems fine\, until suddenly\, something breaks. You rush to check your logs\ , but there are millions of entries. Your dashboards are flooded with too much data but too few answers. Meanwhile\, your Kubernetes clusters are ge nerating even more telemetry\, making it harder to pinpoint the issue.\nMo dern applications produce massive amounts of metrics\, logs\, and traces\, but without a proper system\, all this information turns into noise\, slo wing down troubleshooting and increasing costs. Observability Pipelines of fer a smarter way to collect\, process\, and route telemetry data\, ensuri ng that only the most relevant insights reach your monitoring tools.\n\n## Takeaways\nIn this session\, we’ll explore how to streamline observabil ity data using Grafana Alloy\, OpenTelemetry Collector\, and Grafana’s M imir\, Tempo\, and Loki. Learn how to efficiently handle telemetry\, reduc e noise\, and improve system performance. By the end\, you'll have a roadm ap to build an observability pipeline that keeps your cloud-native environ ments efficient\, cost-effective\, and easy to troubleshoot.\n\n## Target Audience\nThis talk will be helpful for SREs\, DevOps\, and platform engin eers working with on-prem and cloud-native systems\, especially those faci ng telemetry overload or high observability costs. While the topic leans i ntermediate\, the session is beginner-friendly. No matter your experience level\, you'll walk away with something valuable.\n\n## About Me\nAftab is a DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud-native technologies\, Observabili ty\, and platform reliability.

Distros didn't adapt to serve the need s of a containerised SDLC.\n\nContainers are meant to run single-processes in isolation\, but package management is built for VMs\, leading to bloat ed containers that increase attack surface for applications and lead to pa tching overhead for developers.\n\n**Minimal containers** have become the *standard for modern application development*.\n\nThis talk explores an ap proach for creating a Debian-inspired distro with a container-first design .\n\n**Debian container bloat stems from**:\n1. Essential packages needed for VMs but not containers - like bash\, libc6\, perl-base\, gcc\n2. APT p ackage manager footprint - installs **59 packages**\n3. Maintainer script dependencies in Debian packages - scripts can require runtimes like perl\, python etc\n\n**Proposing a new approach**:\n1. Portable APT replacement implemented in Go\n2. Reimplementing maintainer scripts with minimal depen dencies\n3. Bootstrapping a distro so that only required packages can be i nstalled\, no "essentials"\n\n**Security and compatibility**\nThe core ide a stems from 1. Importance of minimal containers to reduce attack surface while maintaining 2. Compatibility with current debian distro.\n\nSuch an approach sets up tooling & packages for minimal container creation but com patibility scope is limited to container lifecycle functionalities only.\n \n# Takeaways\n\nMinimal containers help with faster container startup tim es\, reduced memory footprint\, smaller attack surface\, and improved secu rity\n\nAttendees of this talk would be able to understand:\n- Challenges with container creation using tooling from existing distros.\n- Ideas for creating tooling for secure and performant base-containers.\n\n# Target Au dience\nSecurity engineers & platform engineers \n- who are responsible fo r managing vulnerabilities in their container images.\n- who want to buil d & manage golden container images registry\n\n# Bio\nAbhishek Anand\nCo-F ounder & CTO @ KoalaLab\nTech entrepreneur building solutions for open sou rce software security.\n\n**Prev**:\n- CTO @ Housing.com : Scaled infra to 13Mn daily traffic.\n- Platform engineering @ WhitehatJr : Built a self s erve Kubernetes platform.\n- YC Alum.\n\n GEO:12.9666826;77.6352903 LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T130119Z LOCATION:Supply Chain Security and AI/GenAI for Security track (Seminar ha lls on the 1st floor) - Bangalore International Centre (BIC)\nBengaluru\nI N ORGANIZER;CN=Rootconf:MAILTO:no-reply@hasgeek.com URL:https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/2025/schedule/debian-inspired-container-f irst-linux-distro-6xsWfnqJmnNdoxHstWdm8P BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Uprooted Debian linux for containers in Supply Chain Security and AI/GenAI for Security track (Seminar halls on the 1st floor) in 5 minu tes TRIGGER:-PT5M END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Platform-led Zero Trust service networking for Fintech DTSTART:20250517T060500Z DTEND:20250517T064000Z DTSTAMP:20260421T143615Z UID:session/DjcrJbTY2WgBsCtBW3T4He@hasgeek.com SEQUENCE:8 CATEGORIES:30 mins talk,Performance engineering,Rootconf Annual Conference 2025 CREATED:20250503T100555Z DESCRIPTION:Imagine a world where developers simply describe their workloa ds—and the platform guarantees a Zero-Trust networking setup.

In PostgreSQL\, every write is a story of versioning\, visibility\ , and vacuuming. This tech talk dives straight into the internals\, MVCC\, dead tuples\, transaction IDs \, and shows exactly what happens when your app writes to the database.\n\nWe’ll break down how PostgreSQL handles concurrent transactions using MVCC\, what INSERTs and UPDATEs do on disk\, and why bloat builds up even when you're just "updating a value." You'll get a clear view of how PostgreSQL handles space\, tracks row versions\, a nd why VACUUM isn't optional\, it's critical for data integrity and long-t erm performance.\n\nWe will use tools like **pageinspect** extension and t he **pg_stat** views to inspect what’s happening under the hood. We’ll walk through how indexes are touched during updates by understanding a Po stgres optimization called **Heap Only Tuples (HOT)** and how we can lever age it to improve write throughput\, and how transaction wraparound can sn eak up and cause real damage\, unless VACUUM steps in.\n\n## Takeaways\n- Understand MVCC at the byte level: row versions\, xmin/xmax\, and tuple vi sibility.\n- See exactly how INSERTs and UPDATEs behave on disk\, and how they differ.\n- Understanding the working of VACUUM and its importance\n- Learn how indexes respond to updates and how postgres keeps them efficient (HOT chain).\n\n## Who is this for\nIf you’re curious to know what’s happening behind the scenes during reads and writes in Postgres\, you’re at the right place. We’ll uncover these internals\, which will make you more equipped to make informed decisions when designing and optimizing yo ur databases.\n\nI originally delivered a condensed down version of this t his as an internal tech talk for my colleagues\, and later translated it i nto a written blog\, which you can find [here](https://medium.com/@rohanjn r44/internals-of-mvcc-in-postgres-hidden-costs-of-updates-vs-inserts-381ea dd35844). The blog gained positive traction and engagement on [Reddit](htt ps://www.reddit.com/r/PostgreSQL/comments/1jpfwdb/internals_of_mvcc_in_pos tgres_hidden_costs_of/). This tech talk would include the contents from th e blog as well as additional details on vacuum and impact on indexes.\n\n# # About me\nHey 👋  I am Rohan Reddy Alleti\, a software developer and solution consultant at Sahaj Software\, primarily in backend development\, cloud computing\, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

What if you could deploy a specialized AI-powered “minion-team”? This session is for security e ngineers who want to leverage agentic AI agents to increase their producti vity. I’ll show how to build context-aware AI agents that act as your mi nions\, tackling repetitive tasks across AppSec\, cloud security\, and com pliance—using your existing tools and data.\n\n*We’ll focus on real-wo rld use cases you face daily:*\n1. Triage Slack alerts\, SIEM noise\, or v ulnerability scans with agents that prioritize risks based on your environ ment\n2. Auto-generate threat models for new features by analyzing design docs and past incidents.\n3. Let AI collect compliance evidence (logs\, sc reenshots) before auditors ask\, and monitor the dark web for leaks tied t o your assets.\n\n*You’ll see live demos of a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented G eneration) pipeline that turns your internal docs—network diagrams\, run books\, compliance policies—into an agent’s “brain\,” ensuring rec ommendations align with your reality.*\n\n**Key takeaways:**\n1. Deploy AI Agents in Hours\n2. Solve Real Problems -- Context‑Rich Insights with R AG\n3. Learn to Avoid AI Pitfalls\n\n**Who is the audience for this talk?* *\nSecurity Engineer/Leads.

Designed to abstract away c omplexity and standardize cloud-native operations\, Atlas empowers develop ers to self-serve everything from provisioning to access management and wo rkflow automation. What began as a technical initiative to reduce operatio nal toil has evolved into a powerful engine for cultural change.\n\nBy emb edding automation\, intelligent defaults\, and policy enforcement into the developer experience\, Atlas has enabled a shift from reactive support to proactive ownership. Developers are no longer dependent on centralized De vOps teams for day-to-day operations — instead\, they are equipped to ma nage their own services confidently and securely. This has led to increase d velocity\, stronger cross-team collaboration\, and a shared sense of acc ountability. The talk will share real-world insights into how platformizat ion can drive cultural transformation when built with empathy\, usability\ , and scale in mind.\n\n### Takeaways from the session:\n1. Understand how platformization — when implemented with guardrails\, automation\, and e mpathy — can spark a positive cultural shift\, transforming DevOps from a support function into an enabler of innovation.\n2. See how Atlas levera ges metadata-driven resource mapping and policy-as-code to automate provis ioning\, access control\, and catalog management across a large-scale infr astructure.\n3. Key architectural patterns behind Atlas — task engine\, webhook automation\, and cloud-native integrations.\n\n### Target Audience \n\nSite Reliability Engineers (SRE)\nDevOps Engineer\nPlatform Engineer\n \n### Speaker Bio:\n#### Prakhar Joshi\, Engineering Manager\, Sharechat\n Prakhar is a DevOps engineer at ShareChat\, where he is building internal platforms to streamline cloud infrastructure and developer workflows.
