Daniel Clayborough | Frontend Team/Tech Lead at Agora | Standardizing Large JS Codebases in the AI Era
โBy pushing decisions into tooling, we made our TypeScript codebase predictable and consistent. This talk explores how strict mode, opinionated linters, generators, tests, pnpm, and CI guardrails removed countless micro-decisions, simplified legacy migrations, and improved day-to-day developer experience.
โAriel Shulman | Software Engineer at Factify | Postgres Beyond the Rows
โYouโre likely underutilizing the most powerful piece of your infrastructure.
โWhile most devs treat Postgres as a reliable container for rows and columns, itโs actually a sophisticated engine capable of handling complex data challenges.
โFrom mastering deep, nested hierarchies with lightning-fast traversal to image deduplication and similarity search at scale (no vectors!).
โIn this session we will move beyond standard queries to show how built-in indexing and specialized data types can replace external microservices, and simplify your stack. Come see why the most powerful tool in your stack is likely the one youโre already running.

| How Observability Killed My Performance
โLogs, traces, metrics, correlation IDs โ observability promises clarity when systems get complex. But in Node.js, these tools are not free, and used without care they can become a serious performance bottleneck. In this talk, Iโll share real-world lessons from production Node.js systems where adding observability actually degraded performance. Weโll look at the hidden costs of logging, async logging, AsyncLocalStorage, distributed tracing, and high-cardinality metrics โ and why these issues often only appear under real load.
