Build Chatbots with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and Agents
Thursday November 7, 2024 10:00am - 1:00pm EET
Workshops @ Logistikalabor
In this workshop, attendees will learn how to harness the power of Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base, Agents, and Prompt Flows to create a comprehensive solution for the mortgage application process. They will start by building a Knowledge Base that houses all the relevant information, policies, and procedures related to mortgage loans. This Knowledge Base will serve as a centralized repository, allowing end-users to ask questions such as "What is the policy around lead paint in homes?" or "What are the documentation requirements for self-employed borrowers?" and receive accurate and up-to-date responses.

Key takeaways
Attendees can envision extending this solution to other areas of the financial services industry, such as personal banking, investment advisory, or insurance claims processing. Additionally, they can explore integrating this solution with existing customer relationship management (CRM) systems or other enterprise applications, creating a unified and intelligent platform for customer interactions. The potential for leveraging generative AI in streamlining complex processes and enhancing customer experiences is boundless, and this workshop serves as a stepping stone towards unlocking that potential.

NIS2 and DORA – New Standards in the Digital World and Their Impact on IT Companies
Thursday November 7, 2024 10:40am - 11:20am EET
ScreenX
The NIS2 (Network and Information Security) Directive and the DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) are key regulatory frameworks shaping the future of cybersecurity and operational resilience within the European Union. This presentation will explore how these new standards affect IT companies, emphasizing the practical steps businesses must take to comply and ensure stronger cybersecurity and operational continuity. 

Key takeaways
- DORA applies to IT companies when providing IT services to financial institutions.
- If DORA is applicable, IT companies may be inspected by the financial institutions and indirectly by the financial supervisory authority.
- If DORA is applicable, outsourcing agreements must be reviewed and amended in compliance with DORA.
- NIS2 applies to medium and large IT companies across a broader range of sectors.
- NIS2 brings mandatory incident reporting required within 24 hours of major cyber incidents.
- NIS2 stipulates requirement for strengthened security measures, including risk management and business continuity.
- Non-compliance can result in heavy penalties, making regulatory alignment critical.

Empowering SRE with GitOps: Automated Kubernetes deployments with GitLab CI and Flux
Thursday November 7, 2024 11:40am - 12:20pm EET
ScreenX
In today's fast-evolving landscape, the adoption of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles is essential to enhance reliability, scalability, and efficiency in software operations. This talk explores how GitOps—powered by GitLab CI and Flux—serves as a critical enabler in the transformation journey of organizations adopting SRE. By automating Kubernetes deployments, we ensure a declarative, version-controlled approach to managing applications. Attendees will learn about “pull” approach using Gitlab CI and Flux CD and how it differs from traditional CICD “push” approach.

Key takeaways
- SRE transformation (very briefly focus on toil reduction using CICD)
- GitLab CI: showing/explaining build, test and releasing to JFrog artifactory  looking at code
- Starting with FluxCD (explaining the most important concepts: GitRepository & Kustomization resource) – how the integration between Gitlab, K8s and Flux work  looking at code/configs
- Finally integration of CI & CD to put the pieces together  how Git remains the only source of truth (probably a demo if we don’t have a demo effect 😉)
- Short comparison between the traditional CICD approach (push method) vs the Gitops CICD (pull method)

Provision and operate Kubernetes based platforms at scale
Thursday November 7, 2024 2:00pm - 5:00pm EET
Workshops @ Logistikalabor
Launching a single Kubernetes cluster is relatively straightforward. But how do we handle tens or even thousands? The numerous integrations that our Kubernetes clusters require to function as a true platform can be complex and time-consuming to maintain—not to mention the challenge of keeping up with best practices and updates. In this workshop, we'll explore how to use open-source tools to install and maintain Kubernetes clusters with the necessary integrations at scale.

Key takeaways
The workshop will demonstrate practical approaches to using open-source tools to streamline the management of Kubernetes clusters with required integrations at scale.

How to run hundreds of redises effectively with K8s
Thursday November 7, 2024 2:40pm - 3:20pm EET
ScreenX
Bolt has a lot of services, many of which use Redis as a cache. In recent years we migrated from old semi-automatic provisioning for Redises to automated pipeline, when new redis is automatically requested from service code and provisioned automatically. During this journey we hit interesting corner cases in many components which will be described in the presentation. 

Key takeaways
You'll find out how to operate a lot of redises and unexpected surprises that might wait you on this path.

Scaling from Startup to Success: Unexpected Database Challenge
Thursday November 7, 2024 3:40pm - 4:20pm EET
ScreenX
This presentation explores the evolving database needs of a rapidly growing startup. We follow a fictional company's journey from a very small team to a company with large user base facing regulatory obligations with a single PostgreSQL database.
Discover how database access, migrations, and backups requirements change unexpectedly as customer expectations and data volume increase.

Practical insights for engineers and product owners to ensure long-term success.

Key takeaways
- External-facing applications: No migration access or responsibilities.
- Long-running (multiple days) migrations: Acceptable, no user or feature delivery impact.
- Read-only replica offloading: Multiple database connections in the application.
- PostgreSQL connection scaling: Connection pooler for primary instance.
- Replication and backups: Complementary, as delayed replicas can help in some cases
