About the topics

Topic 1:

Is your application being targeted? (Almost certainly) / Andrei Darapei, DevOps Engineer

DDoS is just the beginning. Today’s applications face bot armies, automated exploits, and constantly evolving online threats. So how do you stay ahead?

In this session, we’ll look at how proper infrastructure preparation and better code quality significantly increase your resilience. We’ll also tackle a hard truth: DevOps alone won’t protect you.

A practical talk for teams who want to build applications that are not just scalable — but truly secure.

Topic 2:

DevOps audit Platform live demo - Why you shouldn’t leave your infrastructure to AI (for now) / Alexander Simonov, Poland DevOps Department Manager

AI is changing everything, but is it ready to take full control of your infrastructure?

In this talk, we’ll explore the balance between automation and the human factor, discuss when and why an infrastructure audit truly matters, and share the story behind our audit platform’s creation.

A practical, experience-driven session for those who want to stay ahead - without giving away the keys too soon.
