CANCELLED -- KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): Stack Overflow -- Why Building Trust in AI Is Key to Healthy Knowledge Ecosystem
Wednesday February 12, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST


The internet and its business models are changing. For the last 16 years, Stack Overflow has been at the forefront, helping to shape the future of the web. In this time of disruption comes a necessary time to reflect, change, and break the norms of ‘this is how it's always been done.’ With the expansion of generative AI, many LLM providers are not allowing the world to operate as it has previously. Instead, a new paradigm has emerged: content created by thousands of creators across the Open Web is now being used to train models without respect or attribution for the original creator.

Consequently, in the current transformation, human-centered sources of knowledge are obscured. We face a world in which the old paradigms are no longer paramount, and their places in the world are redefined. Companies and organizations lucky enough to host these engines of knowledge production are at a decision point; how do they continue to monetize when the technological landscapes have changed? A change in strategy will allow these companies, AI tools, and the communities and data sets that power them to thrive.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar shares why in the GenAI era, trust in data is key to driving innovation, improving the developer experience, and building thriving knowledge communities.

KEYNOTE (Product): The Product Guild -- Busting the Biases That Block Innovation
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Leslie Grandy, the University of Washington, Lead Executive in Residence

Innovation is the lifeblood of successful products, yet even the most talented teams can unknowingly fall prey to biases that stifle creativity and hinder progress. As product leaders, your decisions shape the future of your products and drive your organization’s growth. But are hidden biases holding your teams back from reaching their full potential?

In our fast-paced, competitive landscape, it’s not enough to generate ideas; we must create an environment where the best, most groundbreaking ideas can thrive. This presentation will reveal the common biases that subtly, yet powerfully, block innovation—from expert and confirmation biases that narrow our vision to status quo and fixation biases that keep us clinging to outdated methods.

You’ll learn actionable strategies to recognize and dismantle these biases, fostering a culture that embraces diverse perspectives, challenges assumptions, and encourages bold, creative thinking. By busting these biases, you’ll unlock your team’s full innovation potential, drive more impactful product development, and position your company as a leader in the market.

OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

In the fast-paced world of DevOps, delivering secure, functional mobile apps quickly and efficiently is critical. This session is tailored for DevOps engineers and leaders looking to streamline mobile app development by incorporating code-less, secure app building, automated testing, and continuous monitoring into their CI/CD pipelines. Attendees will learn how to:
Integrate Secure Mobile App Builds Without Code or SDKs:

1. Automatically build critical security features such as encryption, fraud/malware/social engineering prevention, and threat detection directly into the mobile app, without writing any additional code or relying on third-party SDKs.
Automate Testing in CI/CD: Seamlessly integrate no-code security testing and scriptless functional testing into your CI/CD workflows. This ensures that each code push automatically triggers comprehensive testing, identifying any issues with secured apps before deployment—without requiring manual intervention.

2. Implement Continuous Threat Detection: Incorporate real-time threat detection for all your mobile apps. Then automate builds with protections against live attacks in your CI/CD pipeline. By closing the loop between security monitoring and app development, teams can ensure their apps are secure post-deployment and protected against evolving threats.

3. Optimize CI/CD Workflows for Faster Delivery: Implement a fully automated, end-to-end process that ensures every app build is secure, functional, and continuously monitored for potential threats. DevOps teams will learn how to accelerate their app delivery timelines without sacrificing security or performance, leveraging CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI, Bitrise and Azure DevOps.

This session will include a live demonstration showing how DevOps teams can integrate these capabilities into their existing CI/CD workflows, enabling faster, secure, and scalable mobile app delivery.

Wednesday February 12, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PST
Kene Anoliefo, HEARD, Founder

Product discovery traditionally requires a PM working across a team of designers, engineers, and researchers to create and test new product concepts with users. But AI is rewriting these rules. Today, a single PM armed with AI tools can rapidly prototype and validate new product ideas on their own – compressing months of work into just a few days. Now, PMs can generate and explore more ideas with fewer resources, allowing their team to quickly get feedback on the most promising product directions with minimal time investment.
In this session, we'll explore how product managers can leverage no-code AI prototyping tools like Claude, Replit and Loveable to rapidly create functional web prototypes. Then, we’ll demonstrate how to test these prototypes with real customers using AI-powered user interviews, creating a seamless workflow from idea → test → validation.

Attendees will discover:
  • How to use AI tools to create web prototypes without needing technical knowledge
  • Methods for conducting and analyzing AI-powered user interviews to gather meaningful product insights
  • Real-world examples of how this toolset can significantly reduce product development cycles

KEYNOTE: DigitalOcean -- AI Democratization: Enabling Developers of All Sizes
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Bratin Saha, DigitalOcean, Chief Product and Technology Officer

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be taking all industries by storm. Still, the sad reality is that so far, these changes are afforded to and created by large players who have the resources to develop AI technology. But if we are to unlock the full potential and promise of this technology, the future of AI development needs to be shaped by developers in companies of all sizes, even if they are resource-constrained. This session will explore how democratizing AI tools, platforms, and knowledge can accelerate innovation, bridge skill gaps, and empower the next generation of AI technology creators.

Technology tends to follow the path of democratization. From an infrastructure layer to a platform layer to finally the application layer, making the technology accessible to everyday users should be the natural progression. AI will soon move from the foundational models developed by companies like Anthropic and Open AI to applications that allow users to interact with unique and useful AI tools in their daily lives. This will be made possible by lowering barriers to entry through open-source frameworks, user-friendly APIs, and collaborative ecosystems so AI can become a tool for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Attendees will leave this talk with practical insights on how companies can ensure the efficient and equitable development of AI through the steps needed to enable developers with AI infrastructure, simplify AI platforms and empower developers with AI-driven applications.

Data consistency has been a longstanding challenge, dating back to the mainframe era, and transactions have traditionally been used to address these issues. However, with the rise of modern applications built on microservices architectures, ensuring data consistency has become even more complex. While AI adds further complexity to app development, it also offers significant potential to ease these challenges. New transaction patterns have emerged to tackle these modern issues. In this session, you will learn about these new patterns and the solutions available today to integrate these patterns into your applications. We will also explore in detail how some of these solutions are leveraging genAI to help developers avoid writing transaction management code or worry about associated infrastructure, making it extremely easy to adopt such transaction patterns.

OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Sam Kim, AuthZed, Software Engineer

Is your organization struggling to manage permissions across a growing landscape of applications, especially as AI applications are introduced into your tech stack? This session reveals how organizations are transforming their authorization strategy with SpiceDB, an open-source system based on Google's Zanzibar system.

Through real-world examples, we'll contrast your applications with and without SpiceDB: See how teams move from writing repetitive authorization code to a unified permissions system, from ACLs embedded with data to flexible permission structures that enhance RAG systems, and from limited AI agent permissions to more granular and manageable ones. Learn about why companies are adopting a centralized authorization system that scales across all applications while improving security and reducing complexity.

OPEN Session: Stateful Workloads Made Easy: A Practical Demo of Live Migration
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Steven Fraser, CAST AI, Senior Solution Architect

Kubernetes works great for stateless applications, but stateful workloads like databases or long-running jobs pose a challenge. These applications rely on persistent data and can’t afford interruptions, making Kubernetes’ “ephemeral” approach risky. Downtime can lead to data loss, inconsistencies, and system failures.

That’s where live migration comes in, allowing stateful workloads to move between nodes without disruption. At Cast AI, we’ve developed Container Live Migration to automatically consolidate these workloads, ensuring continuous uptime, reducing resource fragmentation, and cutting costs. Join us to see how we’re making Kubernetes work for stateful applications in a practical demo.

OPEN Session: Where Is the Love? Why Automated Regression Testing Isn’t Getting the Attention It Needs
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Jens Wessling, Veracode, Chief Technology Officer

As software development continues to evolve at a rapid pace and new innovations bring a world of possibilities, one item is often left behind: automated regression testing. The truth is without it, organizations can forget about software quality, security, winning customers' trust or being agile.

Regression testing is an integral, non-negotiable part of the production software development process right from the very moment the first line of production code is written. Its impact goes beyond code correctness, influencing development velocity, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring a smoother integration process during acquisitions. However, companies often scramble to retrofit regression testing into their legacy code, but in reality, less than 10% of these after-the-fact efforts ever pan out. It might be tempting to overlook the absence of solid regression testing in smaller companies, but here's the catch: the long-term costs of maintaining code without automated testing don't just stay put – they grow. It's not just a “nice to have” it’s a strategic investment to safeguard their current operations and for companies to position themselves for future growth, innovation and success.

In this Thought Leadership Session, Jens Wessling, CTO of Veracode, outlines the importance of automated regression testing, highlighting why both developers and the C-Suite should make it a priority from the outset and how to make it a core aspect of your team's ethos.

OpenAPI Summit: No AI without APIs
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Jeremy Snyder, Firetail, CEO

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework
Wednesday February 12, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

OPEN Session: Developing the Most Efficient LLM Inferencing
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Moshe Twitto, Pliops, Founder & CTO

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the lack of power budgets in data centers, particularly as AI infrastructure and emerging AI applications lead to higher energy footprints and strain cooling systems. As they scale their AI operations and add GPU compute tiers, the escalating power and cooling demands, coupled with significant capital investments in GPUs, are eroding margins. A monumental challenge looms as data centers struggle to secure essential power, creating significant pressure for companies striving to expand their AI capabilities.

In today's LLM inferencing computing, GPU prefill operations are heavily compute-bound and critically determine the batch size. While prefill can fully utilize GPU resources, increasing the batch size beyond a certain point only increases the Time to First Token (TTFT) without improving prefill rate. On the other hand, GPU decode operations are HBM bandwidth-bound and mainly influenced by model and KV cache sizes, benefiting significantly from larger batch sizes through higher HBM bandwidth efficiency. Pliops' solution improves prefill time, allowing for larger batch sizes without violating user SLA for prefill operations. This enhancement directly affects decode performance as well, as it gains greatly from the increased batch size. As a result, by improving prefill time, the system achieves nearly proportional improvements in end-to-end throughput.

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Aruneesh Salhotra, Seasoned Technologist
OWASP Certified 

In today’s interconnected world, organizational silos pose a significant challenge to effective application security (AppSec). These silos—rooted in specialization, control structures, and cultural divides—impede communication and collaboration, weakening overall security efforts.
This presentation will explore the causes and impacts of organizational silos on security programs and demonstrate how breaking these barriers can strengthen coordination and foster a unified security culture. Attendees will gain insights into why silos form, their detrimental effects on security initiatives, and actionable strategies to overcome them.
Few Key Takeaways:
Understanding Silos: How specialization and cultural divides create barriers.
Impact on Security: The risks silos introduce to AppSec programs.
Practical Strategies: Approaches such as cross-functional training, creating shared security visions, and initiating collaborative initiatives to dismantle silos.
Building a Unified Culture: Empowering every team member, not just the security team, to contribute to application security.

OPEN Session: Elevating Cloud Security with a Graph-based Approach
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Roy Maor, Cisco, Algorithm Team Lead

It is evident that using a graph theory-based approach to reduce cyber security risk on the cloud is a need rather than a want. Having a reliable data model and a continuous mapping of your
cloud environment to a graph database yields value in two different aspects. First, visibility – gaining a deep understanding of the environment’s cloud architecture, and second, cloud risk
management – identifying critical attack paths in the environment and mitigating the risk they present. By finding the right connections between graph algorithms to cloud security
misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, gaining brand new visibility on faulty cloud architecture and turning it into high-value context-based risk insights becomes possible.

Elliot Scribner, Couchbase, Software Engineer

Couchbase started its life as a merge of two open source projects: CouchDB and Membase. This gave us a distributed key/value store with support for map/reduce querying if the value was a JSON document. As many open source projects it has evolved quite a bit in 14 years. We have added support for new data models, new query capabilities or ways of replicating data from cloud to cloud or to the edge. In this 25 minutes we will chronologically go through some of its features, see how sometimes they replaced old ones, or how they enabled new use cases.

OPEN Session: Reducing Developer Toil: Agentic AI-driven Testing
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST
Animesh Mishra, Diffblue, Senior Solutions Engineer

Developer toil is real — days, even weeks, are spent conducting manual, repetitive, time-gobbling tasks like unit testing. And while GenAI coding assistants can support developers, they repeatedly fall short in performing complex TestQA tasks without human oversight.

The problem is compounded by the shortage of experienced testers, leaving developers drowning in QA testing rather than writing and innovating application code. Reports show 75% of developers’ time is spent on tasks other than code generation, resulting in 57% of developers admitting to skipping unit tests entirely.

For companies to succeed, code must be fool proof. So how can developers ensure testing is comprehensive and done with due diligence — and at scale?

The answer lies in reinforcement learning-based autonomous AI, which can eliminate up to 95% of the time developers typically spend on test writing. In this session, you will learn how to eliminate developer toil by automating manual and tedious test operations at scale (both locally and in CI), how the right tools can autonomously write and maintain unit tests for entire Java code bases, and how to ensure your unit tests for complex code are comprehensive.

This talk is designed for dev leaders looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Test/QA with emerging AI technology.

Thursday February 13, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PST
Mugurel Rata, DUK TECH, Technical Lead

The Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Diagnosis for Peripheral Arterial Disease (AI-PAD) is a multidisciplinary digital health initiative - one of the key areas we explore in our Research Department, in collaboration with “Al. I. Cuza” University of Iași.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries, limiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the head, organs and limbs. A complete medical evaluation of PAD is based on computed tomography angiography (angio-CT).
 
Given the complexity of the diagnostic process, our aim is to develop an intelligent software system able to automatically identify the arteries, detect abnormalities and facilitate the diagnosis. The software system is based on integrating Artificial Intelligence technologies in diagnostic imaging.
Our presentation will cover the challenges we faced in implementing the machine learning mechanisms required for the decision support component.

Thursday February 13, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Ben Ryves, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer
Maggie Slukova, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer


How difficult is it to minimize the toil of cluster upgrades while increasing confidence in deploying the changes?

Even when managed, cluster upgrades are an unavoidable part of cluster maintenance, yet they can also be a source of toil, stress and outages; either when upgrading Kubernetes itself or additional cluster components. Manually testing changes in staging clusters, deploying with a high sense of uncertainty - these time consuming tasks can be mitigated with tests. Add nifty automation and cluster management efforts are reduced to a bare minimum.

Is investing in cluster tests and automation worth it? Yes! This talk shows how a team of three engineers keeps multiple clusters continuously up-to-date with minimal time investment, effort and disruptions. By leveraging the e2e-framework and Helm, everything from Istio to cluster autoscaler is tested and seamlessly managed.

Thursday February 13, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, each of which specializes in different types of tasks. Your right brain excels at imagination, intuition, art, rhythm, feelings, and dreams. Meanwhile, the left brain is more analytical and focused on logic, sequencing, linear thinking, and mathematics. Like a human brain, generative AI excels at certain tasks, especially those related to right-brain creative activities. However, the absence of relevant and up-to-date information produces confusing hallucinations that are not grounded in reality.

OWASP Security Summit: 15 Ways to Break Microsoft Copilot
Thursday February 13, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Tamir Ishay Sharbat, Zenity, Software Engineer
OWASP Certified 

Microsoft Copilot Studio is the technology that powers Microsoft's copilots, and the platform behind custom copilots built in the enterprise. The promise is that everyone can build a secure copilot, under the assumption that every bot will be secure by-default. Does it hold under scrutiny?

In this talk, we will show how Copilot Studio bots can easily be used to exfiltrate sensitive enterprise data circumventing existing controls like DLP. We will show how a combination of insecure defaults, over permissive plugins and wishful design thinking makes data leakage probable, not just possible. We will analyze how Copilot Studio puts enterprise data and operations in the hands of GenAI, and expose how this exacerbates the prompt injection attack surface, leading to a material impact on integrity and confidentiality.

Next, we will drop CopilotHunter, a recon and exploitation tool that scans for publicly accessible Copilots and uses fuzzing and GenAI to abuse them to extract sensitive enterprise data. We will share our findings targeting thousands of accessible bots, revealing sensitive data and corporate credentials.

Finally, we will offer a path forward by sharing concrete configurations and mistakes to avoid on Microsoft's platform, and generalized insights on how to build secure and reliable Copilots.

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models
Thursday February 13, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
Anton McGonnell, SambaNova Systems, VP of Product

This session, led by Anton McGonnell, Head of Software Products at SambaNova Systems, presents an in-depth exploration of the Composition of Experts approach in AI - a model made up of many models that work in conjunction with each other - and in particular the benefits to individual developers. Instead of building one monolithic model, this strategy composes workflows using many specialised, independent "expert" models. This proves to be more efficient, modular, and extensible.

The talk will provide a deep dive into the advantages of this technique, which promotes reusability, saves on alignment tax, and enables granular access control. By detailing real-world implementations, attendees will learn best practices for breaking down problems, assigning appropriate experts, and orchestrating data flow between them. McGonnell will discuss how an architecture with a large memory capacity, enables this approach by hosting and serving thousands of models in parallel on a single node without performance degradation. This makes the Composition of Experts approach highly scalable and reduces the total cost of ownership for inference.

Additionally, the session will offer crucial hardware considerations for executing Composition of Experts at scale. It will examine how specialised architectures can allow hosting thousands of models in parallel on a single node. With companies increasingly relying on AI, reliability and cost-efficiency are paramount concerns. Composition of Experts tackles these challenges through modularity and inference optimisation. By attending, developers and engineers can expect to gain highly applicable skills for improving the scalability, performance, and governance of AI in production environments.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): Stack Overflow -- Why Building Trust in AI Is Key to Healthy Knowledge Ecosystem
Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST
Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow, CEO

The internet and its business models are changing. For the last 16 years, Stack Overflow has been at the forefront, helping to shape the future of the web. In this time of disruption comes a necessary time to reflect, change, and break the norms of ‘this is how it's always been done.’ With the expansion of generative AI, many LLM providers are not allowing the world to operate as it has previously. Instead, a new paradigm has emerged: content created by thousands of creators across the Open Web is now being used to train models without respect or attribution for the original creator.

Consequently, in the current transformation, human-centered sources of knowledge are obscured. We face a world in which the old paradigms are no longer paramount, and their places in the world are redefined. Companies and organizations lucky enough to host these engines of knowledge production are at a decision point; how do they continue to monetize when the technological landscapes have changed? A change in strategy will allow these companies, AI tools, and the communities and data sets that power them to thrive.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar shares why in the GenAI era, trust in data is key to driving innovation, improving the developer experience, and building thriving knowledge communities.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Top Overspending on the cloud with AU
Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST
Philip Andrews, CAST AI, Field CTO

The cost of running applications in the cloud is astronomical, and it’s only going to get more expensive given the growing number of organizations that have started running and training AI models. Did you know that, on the average, companies spend on cloud computing almost three times what they should? Why? The answer is overprovisioning of expensive resources and equates to throwing money down the drain.

The solution is simple: automation.

In this session, I will:
Explain why organizations spend on average 3x more than they should on cloud resources - the vast majority of cost waste is the result of CPUs and memory that are provisioned but not utilized
Highlight the negative impact that has on organizations
Explain how it can be avoided via automation - Monitoring and recommendations are not enough. It’s impossible for a human to optimize their cloud infrastructure in real-time. Automation is necessary and automation is cool.
Showcase a couple of examples of companies that have automated cloud resourcing and the benefits they’ve received.

Innovation is the lifeblood of successful products, yet even the most talented teams can unknowingly fall prey to biases that stifle creativity and hinder progress. As product leaders, your decisions shape the future of your products and drive your organization’s growth. But are hidden biases holding your teams back from reaching their full potential?

In our fast-paced, competitive landscape, it’s not enough to generate ideas; we must create an environment where the best, most groundbreaking ideas can thrive. This presentation will reveal the common biases that subtly, yet powerfully, block innovation—from expert and confirmation biases that narrow our vision to status quo and fixation biases that keep us clinging to outdated methods.

You’ll learn actionable strategies to recognize and dismantle these biases, fostering a culture that embraces diverse perspectives, challenges assumptions, and encourages bold, creative thinking. By busting these biases, you’ll unlock your team’s full innovation potential, drive more impactful product development, and position your company as a leader in the market.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

In the fast-paced world of DevOps, delivering secure, functional mobile apps quickly and efficiently is critical. This session is tailored for DevOps engineers and leaders looking to streamline mobile app development by incorporating code-less, secure app building, automated testing, and continuous monitoring into their CI/CD pipelines. Attendees will learn how to:
Integrate Secure Mobile App Builds Without Code or SDKs:

1. Automatically build critical security features such as encryption, fraud/malware/social engineering prevention, and threat detection directly into the mobile app, without writing any additional code or relying on third-party SDKs.
Automate Testing in CI/CD: Seamlessly integrate no-code security testing and scriptless functional testing into your CI/CD workflows. This ensures that each code push automatically triggers comprehensive testing, identifying any issues with secured apps before deployment—without requiring manual intervention.

2. Implement Continuous Threat Detection: Incorporate real-time threat detection for all your mobile apps. Then automate builds with protections against live attacks in your CI/CD pipeline. By closing the loop between security monitoring and app development, teams can ensure their apps are secure post-deployment and protected against evolving threats.

3. Optimize CI/CD Workflows for Faster Delivery: Implement a fully automated, end-to-end process that ensures every app build is secure, functional, and continuously monitored for potential threats. DevOps teams will learn how to accelerate their app delivery timelines without sacrificing security or performance, leveraging CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI, Bitrise and Azure DevOps.

This session will include a live demonstration showing how DevOps teams can integrate these capabilities into their existing CI/CD workflows, enabling faster, secure, and scalable mobile app delivery.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE: Auth0 -- Enabling the Era of AI Agents
Wednesday February 19, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PST
Shiven Ramji, President, Customer Identity Cloud, Okta

Sam Altman predicted that 2025 would be the year agents join the workforce. And we are starting to see that almost every company is making ongoing, internal or external efforts to create apps with GenAI. We must ensure they remain secure as we see the rise of AI apps and agents that integrate with our applications and act on our behalf.
Authentication and security for GenAI apps are not optional. Startups and enterprises across industries are betting on agents to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth; it will be crucial to prioritize and adopt identity best practices to secure users, applications, and data.
Join Shiven Ramji, President, Customer Identity Cloud, Okta, as he shows developers how to implement authentication and authorization requirements for GenAI apps and agents. He will explain how to securely get agents to call APIs on users' behalf, implement secure “human in the loop” flows for background agents, and ensure and enable fine-grained access control when doing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
You'll see how securing identity is the missing piece to making AI agents mainstream and learn how to solve it.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: The Future of Product Discovery is Here: How PMs Can Use AI to Prototype and Test New Ideas, Fast.
Wednesday February 19, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PST
Kene Anoliefo, HEARD, Founder

Product discovery traditionally requires a PM working across a team of designers, engineers, and researchers to create and test new product concepts with users. But AI is rewriting these rules. Today, a single PM armed with AI tools can rapidly prototype and validate new product ideas on their own – compressing months of work into just a few days. Now, PMs can generate and explore more ideas with fewer resources, allowing their team to quickly get feedback on the most promising product directions with minimal time investment.
In this session, we'll explore how product managers can leverage no-code AI prototyping tools like Claude, Replit and Loveable to rapidly create functional web prototypes. Then, we’ll demonstrate how to test these prototypes with real customers using AI-powered user interviews, creating a seamless workflow from idea → test → validation.

Attendees will discover:
  • How to use AI tools to create web prototypes without needing technical knowledge
  • Methods for conducting and analyzing AI-powered user interviews to gather meaningful product insights

[Virtual] OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization
Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

Kubernetes works great for stateless applications, but stateful workloads like databases or long-running jobs pose a challenge. These applications rely on persistent data and can’t afford interruptions, making Kubernetes’ “ephemeral” approach risky. Downtime can lead to data loss, inconsistencies, and system failures.

That’s where live migration comes in, allowing stateful workloads to move between nodes without disruption. At Cast AI, we’ve developed Container Live Migration to automatically consolidate these workloads, ensuring continuous uptime, reducing resource fragmentation, and cutting costs.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Where Is the Love? Why Automated Regression Testing Isn’t Getting the Attention It Needs
Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Jens Wessling, Veracode, Chief Technology Officer

As software development continues to evolve at a rapid pace and new innovations bring a world of possibilities, one item is often left behind: automated regression testing. The truth is without it, organizations can forget about software quality, security, winning customers' trust or being agile.

Regression testing is an integral, non-negotiable part of the production software development process right from the very moment the first line of production code is written. Its impact goes beyond code correctness, influencing development velocity, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring a smoother integration process during acquisitions. However, companies often scramble to retrofit regression testing into their legacy code, but in reality, less than 10% of these after-the-fact efforts ever pan out. It might be tempting to overlook the absence of solid regression testing in smaller companies, but here's the catch: the long-term costs of maintaining code without automated testing don't just stay put – they grow. It's not just a “nice to have” it’s a strategic investment to safeguard their current operations and for companies to position themselves for future growth, innovation and success.

In this Thought Leadership Session, Jens Wessling, CTO of Veracode, outlines the importance of automated regression testing, highlighting why both developers and the C-Suite should make it a priority from the outset and how to make it a core aspect of your team's ethos.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework
Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Building AI Applications from Your Desktop with Podman AI Lab
Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Cedric Clyburn, Red Hat, Developer Advocate

Generative AI is revolutionizing how we build modern applications, but for developers, it can be daunting, particularly with evaluating models, building with Gen AI, and the path to production. But, it doesn’t have to be worrisome! Join us in this session to be ahead of the curve when it comes to AI-enabled cloud-native application development.

Using container technology and open source models from Hugging Face, we’ll show how to practically integrate Gen AI in an existing application from your local development environment and ultimately deploy it onto Kubernetes. Why work with local and open-source models? From reducing cloud computing costs, keeping control of your sensitive data, and alleviating vendor-locking, it’s an increasingly popular way for developers to prototype AI applications quickly. We’ll demonstrate a sample of the whole AI journey, starting from assessing models, building applications with LLMs, and deploying/serving AI applications.

Sure, your product may deliver a REST API to customers, but what about all those interfaces that exist within your company - between microservices, for internal tooling, and from imported packages? API Operations (APIOps) enables a consistent process, for developing and sharing any type of software interface, within your company and for your customers – whether you have 2 or 200 teams.
In this talk, learn how Dell is implementing APIOps to:
- Increase development velocity - for the team producing a shared interface, and their consumers.
- Reduce complexity - through common developer tooling and processes.
- Promote Consistency - by automating validation and governance.
- Expand Visibility - across all types of interfaces: REST, gRPC, event-based, and others.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Say Goodbye to Toil: Automating Cluster Upgrades
Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Ben Ryves, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer
Maggie Slukova, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer


How difficult is it to minimize the toil of cluster upgrades while increasing confidence in deploying the changes?

Even when managed, cluster upgrades are an unavoidable part of cluster maintenance, yet they can also be a source of toil, stress and outages; either when upgrading Kubernetes itself or additional cluster components. Manually testing changes in staging clusters, deploying with a high sense of uncertainty - these time consuming tasks can be mitigated with tests. Add nifty automation and cluster management efforts are reduced to a bare minimum.

Is investing in cluster tests and automation worth it? Yes! This talk shows how a team of three engineers keeps multiple clusters continuously up-to-date with minimal time investment, effort and disruptions. By leveraging the e2e-framework and Helm, everything from Istio to cluster autoscaler is tested and seamlessly managed.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN Session: Looking Beyond the Data: Navigating the Challenges of Biased Samples
Thursday February 20, 2025 9:30am - 10:20am PST
Srik Gorthy, ByteDance (TikTok), Senior Data Scientist

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven insights, the quality of data holds the key to business decisions. Yet, biased samples — often overlooked or underestimated — can lead to flawed conclusions, unreliable models, and a loss of trust in data-driven systems. Whether biases stem from data collection methods, under-represented groups, or feedback loops in AI systems, understanding and addressing them is crucial for maintaining the integrity of insights.

This presentation examines the pervasive challenge of biased data samples and discusses key issues that data practitioners frequently encounter. From selection bias, where certain groups are systematically excluded, to response bias, where participation is skewed, biased sampling can distort the data landscape in subtle but significant ways. These biases have direct real-world consequences: for example, a cancer detection system that erroneously associates the presence of a ruler in mole images with malignancy, or an autonomous driving system trained without accounting for real-world deviations from traffic rules.

Recognizing bias is just the first step. The presentation will explore actionable strategies — like thoughtful sampling design and bootstrap resampling — to detect and mitigate bias, ensuring insights reflect reality more accurately. By examining real-world examples and practical approaches, this discussion invites professionals to rethink how data is collected and analyzed. Looking beyond the data means understanding its imperfections, challenging assumptions, and adopting techniques that uphold reliable decision-making in an increasingly AI-centric world.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Developing the Most Efficient LLM Inferencing
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Moshe Twitto, Pliops, Founder & CTO

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the lack of power budgets in data centers, particularly as AI infrastructure and emerging AI applications lead to higher energy footprints and strain cooling systems. As they scale their AI operations and add GPU compute tiers, the escalating power and cooling demands, coupled with significant capital investments in GPUs, are eroding margins. A monumental challenge looms as data centers struggle to secure essential power, creating significant pressure for companies striving to expand their AI capabilities.

In today's LLM inferencing computing, GPU prefill operations are heavily compute-bound and critically determine the batch size. While prefill can fully utilize GPU resources, increasing the batch size beyond a certain point only increases the Time to First Token (TTFT) without improving prefill rate. On the other hand, GPU decode operations are HBM bandwidth-bound and mainly influenced by model and KV cache sizes, benefiting significantly from larger batch sizes through higher HBM bandwidth efficiency. Pliops' solution improves prefill time, allowing for larger batch sizes without violating user SLA for prefill operations. This enhancement directly affects decode performance as well, as it gains greatly from the increased batch size. As a result, by improving prefill time, the system achieves nearly proportional improvements in end-to-end throughput.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Elevating Cloud Security with a Graph-based Approach
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Roy Maor, Cisco, Algorithm Team Lead

It is evident that using a graph theory-based approach to reduce cyber security risk on the cloud is a need rather than a want. Having a reliable data model and a continuous mapping of your
cloud environment to a graph database yields value in two different aspects. First, visibility – gaining a deep understanding of the environment’s cloud architecture, and second, cloud risk
management – identifying critical attack paths in the environment and mitigating the risk they present. By finding the right connections between graph algorithms to cloud security
misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, gaining brand new visibility on faulty cloud architecture and turning it into high-value context-based risk insights becomes possible.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN Session: Is UX the Secret Weapon to Making Your B2B AI or SAAS Analytics Product Indispensable?
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Brian T. O'Neill, Designing for Analytics, Founder

One day, your CEO called a meeting, and said the company’s strategy was changing to “AI.” “We gotta have AI to maintain our market position or differentiate.” They don’t know how or what they want to do exactly, and nor does anyone else. You roll your eyes and play the “solution in search of a problem” track in your head, because it would probably fall on deaf ears anyways.

The thing is, GenAI, ML and AI in general are not going away, and the data science and engineering teams are likely heads down building your data infrastructure. Your execs see a massive technology change on the horizon, and they want to lead—not follow. Your UX team is supposed to get involved somehow “to make sure it’s easy to use,” but the mandates are broad and vague; what is a product leader supposed to do? Slap that textarea box on your GUI so you have “GenAI”? Write some prompt guides?

This session is for senior product and UX leaders who are tasked with a mandate to deal with AI in an environment where there is no clear strategy as to whether AI is the right solution, and there is a lot of ambiguity. You’ll leave with some useful context to approach discussions with your senior colleagues, and some ideas for getting on board with a train that is not going to stop.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Reducing Developer Toil: Agentic AI-driven Testing
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST
Animesh Mishra, Diffblue, Senior Solutions Engineer

Developer toil is real — days, even weeks, are spent conducting manual, repetitive, time-gobbling tasks like unit testing. And while GenAI coding assistants can support developers, they repeatedly fall short in performing complex TestQA tasks without human oversight.

The problem is compounded by the shortage of experienced testers, leaving developers drowning in QA testing rather than writing and innovating application code. Reports show 75% of developers’ time is spent on tasks other than code generation, resulting in 57% of developers admitting to skipping unit tests entirely.

For companies to succeed, code must be fool proof. So how can developers ensure testing is comprehensive and done with due diligence — and at scale?

The answer lies in reinforcement learning-based autonomous AI, which can eliminate up to 95% of the time developers typically spend on test writing. In this session, you will learn how to eliminate developer toil by automating manual and tedious test operations at scale (both locally and in CI), how the right tools can autonomously write and maintain unit tests for entire Java code bases, and how to ensure your unit tests for complex code are comprehensive.

This talk is designed for dev leaders looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Test/QA with emerging AI technology.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Give Your LLMs a Left Brain
Thursday February 20, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, each of which specializes in different types of tasks. Your right brain excels at imagination, intuition, art, rhythm, feelings, and dreams. Meanwhile, the left brain is more analytical and focused on logic, sequencing, linear thinking, and mathematics. Like a human brain, generative AI excels at certain tasks, especially those related to right-brain creative activities. However, the absence of relevant and up-to-date information produces confusing hallucinations that are not grounded in reality. 
This presentation will explore how knowledge graphs built with factual and updated information can complement LLMs via retrieval augment generation (RAG) to produce more reliable results.

[Virtual] OWASP Security Summit: 15 Ways to Break Microsoft Copilot
Thursday February 20, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Tamir Ishay Sharbat, Zenity, Software Engineer
OWASP Certified 

Microsoft Copilot Studio is the technology that powers Microsoft's copilots, and the platform behind custom copilots built in the enterprise. The promise is that everyone can build a secure copilot, under the assumption that every bot will be secure by-default. Does it hold under scrutiny?

In this talk, we will show how Copilot Studio bots can easily be used to exfiltrate sensitive enterprise data circumventing existing controls like DLP. We will show how a combination of insecure defaults, over permissive plugins and wishful design thinking makes data leakage probable, not just possible. We will analyze how Copilot Studio puts enterprise data and operations in the hands of GenAI, and expose how this exacerbates the prompt injection attack surface, leading to a material impact on integrity and confidentiality.

Next, we will drop CopilotHunter, a recon and exploitation tool that scans for publicly accessible Copilots and uses fuzzing and GenAI to abuse them to extract sensitive enterprise data. We will share our findings targeting thousands of accessible bots, revealing sensitive data and corporate credentials.

Finally, we will offer a path forward by sharing concrete configurations and mistakes to avoid on Microsoft's platform, and generalized insights on how to build secure and reliable Copilots.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models
Thursday February 20, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
Anton McGonnell, SambaNova Systems, VP of Product

This session, led by Anton McGonnell, Head of Software Products at SambaNova Systems, presents an in-depth exploration of the Composition of Experts approach in AI - a model made up of many models that work in conjunction with each other - and in particular the benefits to individual developers. Instead of building one monolithic model, this strategy composes workflows using many specialised, independent "expert" models. This proves to be more efficient, modular, and extensible.

The talk will provide a deep dive into the advantages of this technique, which promotes reusability, saves on alignment tax, and enables granular access control. By detailing real-world implementations, attendees will learn best practices for breaking down problems, assigning appropriate experts, and orchestrating data flow between them. McGonnell will discuss how an architecture with a large memory capacity, enables this approach by hosting and serving thousands of models in parallel on a single node without performance degradation. This makes the Composition of Experts approach highly scalable and reduces the total cost of ownership for inference.

Additionally, the session will offer crucial hardware considerations for executing Composition of Experts at scale. It will examine how specialised architectures can allow hosting thousands of models in parallel on a single node. With companies increasingly relying on AI, reliability and cost-efficiency are paramount concerns. Composition of Experts tackles these challenges through modularity and inference optimisation. By attending, developers and engineers can expect to gain highly applicable skills for improving the scalability, performance, and governance of AI in production environments.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN Session: From Classical Code to Quantum Applications: How to Build and Apply Product Thinking in Deep Tech
Thursday February 20, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
Amanda Chew, Horizon Quantum Computing, VP of Product

Quantum computing holds the potential to solve some of the world's most complex computational problems, provided we have the knowledge and tools to harness this power. In this session, I'll be sharing about how we've used product thinking and strategy to build a product in a deep tech and nascent technology, so that classical developers can code and build applications for quantum computers without any quantum knowledge.

As quantum computing is still a nascent industry, there are vast uncharted territories between scientific research, product development and design to be bridged before quantum computers can become useful. It is interesting to learn how to apply product thinking and strategy in this field, so that the audience can benefit from applying this principles in a narrow and restricted area, and extrapolate these skills to apply them in their domains.

What do you want people to learn from your talk:
How to apply the craft of product in science and emerging technologies.
