Join us at Marmeto's office in HSR Layout for the latest edition of "What the Fork" – our no-BS discussion series where we actually talk about the messy reality of scaling systems. This month, we're diving deep into what happens when your architecture needs to handle 10x, 100x, or "oh god why" levels of traffic.

Hosted by Marmeto, this session is all about the war stories and hard-earned wisdom from engineers who've been in the trenches. We're talking real failures that taught us something, the trade-offs nobody warns you about, and those 3 AM debugging sessions that somehow led to breakthrough moments. Whether you're wrestling with infrastructure decisions, trying to scale your team alongside your codebase, or just curious about how things break (and get fixed) at massive scale, this is your chance to hear it straight from people who've lived through it. Bring your questions, your own horror stories, and an appetite for honest technical conversation.

 Check-in, welcome, and pre-event conversations

Ease in, grab a drink, pick a seat, and mentally prepare for some battle-tested engineering truths.

A short, energizing activity designed to get everyone involved, lighten the mood, and reset the room before diving into the next session.

2:40 PM – 3:00 PM: Fun Activity – Audience Q&A

Meet fellow builders, exchange scaling horror stories, and make connections that might just save you from your next production fire.

Got insights to share on AI, Developer Experience, Scalability, Architecture, System Design or Security?

We’re looking for developers to submit session proposals for upcoming What The Fork events!
