About Talk and Speaker
Talk 1 - Database Models You Don't Hate by Hassanin Ahmed, Senior Engineer
This talk addresses common pitfalls in database model design, focusing on how to rethink these models to enhance maintainability and usability.
About Speaker: Hass is a programmer with 15 years of experience building applications with Ruby on Rails. His extensive experience has taught him that well-structured models are the foundation of maintainable applications.
Talk 2 - Enhancing AI Agents with Smarter Memory Management by Ng Wee Tong, Senior Solution Architect @ Redis
Large Language Models (LLMs) are inherently stateless, limiting their ability to maintain context across interactions. As AI agents become integral to apps, the lack of short-term recall and long-term memory makes them repetitive, contextually unaware, and expensive due to redundant token processing. In this session, we'll dive into practical techniques for equipping agents with robust memory management using Redis. Through concrete architectures, we'll explore patterns to implement semantic short-term caching, persistent long-term memory, and context-aware retrieval — enhancing an agent's efficiency and intelligence.

Talk 3 - Scaling PostgreSQL Performance with Table Portitioning: A Real-World Case Study by Amree Zaid, Principal Engineer @ CoinGecko
This technical talk shares CoinGecko's experience optimizing a 1TB+ PostgreSQL table that was causing performance bottlenecks. The presentation covers the journey from identifying the problem (30+ second query times, high IOPS usage, degraded SLO metrics) to implementing table partitioning as the solution.
