Developer Velocity vs. System Reliability: Finding the Golden Ratio
Every team is shipping faster than ever. AI now writes a large share of the code, and features go out at a pace that would have been unthinkable a year ago. But velocity has a shadow: the faster code ships, the harder it gets to know what that code actually does once it is running in production. Where is the golden ratio between moving fast and staying reliable?
Join Ananth, Founder and CEO of CodeKarma, for a live session on exactly that tension. This is not a slide-deck webinar. Anant will go live on a real system to show what production truth looks like: which code paths actually run, which are dead, where a single call quietly fans out across services, and how much blast radius is hiding behind a green dashboard.
What we will cover
Why "we ship fast" and "we ship reliably" keep pulling against each other, and what closes the gap
Live: reading real production behaviour, spotting dead code, hidden fan-out, and blast radius
Feeding that production context to AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) so they build from reality, not guesses
Who it is for
VPs and Directors of Engineering, architects, SREs, and platform or DevEx leaders running large distributed systems.
What you will walk away with
A sharper way to think about the velocity vs reliability trade-off in the AI-coding era
A live look at spotting dead code, hidden fan-out, and blast radius on a real system
A practical view of how to give AI coding agents real production context
Run of show (1 hour, all times US Eastern)
2:00 PM: Welcome
2:05 PM: The velocity vs reliability problem, and why observability is not enough
2:30 PM: Live demo on a real system
2:45 PM: Open Q&A

About CodeKarma
CodeKarma gives engineering teams production truth: what their code actually does when it runs. Teams use it to spot dead code, understand blast radius, and give both their engineers and their AI coding agents the ground truth of how their system really behaves.
