Building an Internal Developer Platform: From Jenkins to Self-Service CI/CD

Session Abstract When your Internal Developer Platform’s CI/CD infrastructure becomes a developer productivity bottleneck—5 instances, 2-3k builds daily, $50k annual costs, and compliance gaps—you need a platform engineering approach that works. This session covers our real-world journey from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, focusing on how we built a self-service, scalable IDP that empowers developers… more

Signal > Noise: An InMobi Story

Elevator Pitch We turned observability from “more dashboards” into a capability that engineers use every day. This talk shares how InMobi runs Prometheus+Thanos, Loki+Promtail, and Sentry, the bumps we hit, the fixes that worked, what still hurts, and the practical patterns that cut noise/cost and improve MTTR—without a platform rewrite. We’ll also cover how GitOps made observability a product en… more

Bringing Order to Distributed Chaos: A Functional Architecture for Multi-Tenant Task Execution

Session Description Elastic compute environments promise flexibility, but achieving determinism and observability at scale is far from trivial. Workloads often involve shared datasets, unpredictable runtimes, and heterogeneous client configurations — all of which challenge traditional scheduling and orchestration paradigms. more

Sub-Second Decisions: Design Principles for Real-Time Go Workflow Engines on GCP for Martech Scale

Description: Processing massive event streams for real-time Martech decisions, like session personalization, DCO, NBA, personalized ad targeting etc., frequently requires complex, stateful logic best modeled as workflows under strict sub-second latency, but traditional engines can introduce unacceptable overhead. Building such systems on modern cloud platforms presents challenges: how do you orch… more

Designing Scalable Unit Test Reporting for Distributed Systems

Describe your session (2 paragraphs) Modern engineering teams run thousands of unit tests across multiple services and repositories, yet test reporting often remains fragmented, noisy, and hard to act upon. Developers struggle with flaky tests, poor failure context, oversized logs, and limited visibility into trends across builds and teams. As systems scale, these gaps significantly impact develo… more

Observability in Kubernetes: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Overview As our Kubernetes footprint grew, so did the challenge of understanding what was happening inside our cluster. We found ourselves drowning in logs from multiple sources, missing critical alerts, and struggling to connect the dots between metrics, logs, and events when things went wrong. more
