The emergence of serverless computing was initiated by functions-as-a-service (FaaS) offerings, which allow code execution in response to specific events such as an API request or uploading a file to a storage service. By utilizing FaaS offerings, developers can easily build and deploy code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
Serverless computing has blended with container-based technologies like Kubernetes, which enables containerized applications' deployment and management in the cloud. Consequently, hybrid serverless architectures emerged, combining the advantages of both serverless and container-based technologies. I'll also dive into how serverless computing has expanded beyond FaaS to include database-as-a-service (DBaaS).
Although the excitement about serverless computing may have dwindled in recent years, the use of serverless technologies is still on the rise, with over 50% of cloud customers leveraging serverless technologies. As the technology develops further, it is likely that serverless computing will continue to be a crucial aspect of cloud computing.

Enhancing server performance typically entails achieving one or more of the following objectives: reduce latency, increase number of requests per second (RPS), and minimize CPU and memory usage. These goals can be pursued through architectural modifications, such as eliminating some network hops, distributing data across multiple servers, upgrading to more powerful hardware, and so forth. This talk is not about that.
I categorize the primary sources of code performance degradation into three groups:
[*] Thread contention. For instance, too hot mutexes, overly strict order in lock-free operations, and false sharing.
[*] Heap utilization. Loss is often caused by frequent allocation and deallocation of large objects, and by the absence of intrusive containers at hand.
[*] Network IO. Socket reads and writes are expensive due to being system calls. Also they can block the thread for a long time, resulting in hacks like adding tens or hundreds more threads. Such measures intensify contention, as well as CPU and memory usage, while neglecting the underlying issue.
I present a series of concise and straightforward low-level recipes on how to gain performance via code optimizations. While often requiring just a handful of changes, the proposals might amplify the performance N-fold.
The suggestions target the mentioned bottlenecks caused by certain typical mistakes. Proposed optimizations might render architectural changes not necessary, or even allow to simplify the setup if existing servers start coping with the load effortlessly. As a side effect, the changes can make the code cleaner and reveal more bottlenecks to investigate.

Practical software architecture: what do we all know about it but are too laisy to use
Software architecture is a tough subject: we all know we need it, we all put so much energy to get it right and we all are mostly unsatisfied with the result.
All our efforts on the architectural direction are based - ок at least expected to be based - on the two fundamental studies programmers universe provided us: “Clean Architecture” by Robert Martin and "Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software" from Eric Evans.
But - no, it is very rare in our society to use the ideas from any of these books in the day-to-day job. Looks like these books are too good for us!
Seriously, they are just like the design for а shining castle on a high hill. And we need something much much simpler like a barnyard to grow and feed our projects. This is what I heard from my dear colleagues so many times!
And finally, I’ve decided to create a speech about practical architecture:
1. Yes, we need a barnyard and yes even a barnyard needs good architecture.
2. Good architecture is not about beauty but about very practical things: testability,
extendability and debugability.
3. Good architecture is easy, because
3.1. All our projects are almost the same
3.2. Singe slightly variated pattern will lead us to the good architecture for any of
the projects we are growing in our barnyard
3.3. Practical architectural requirements are really easy to follow. Actually, it is
much harder to not follow them as soon as you finally look at them from this
perspective.
3.4. Practical architecture is a self-supporting thing: as soon as you start it right in
one part of the project it will magically organize the environment in the proper
way.
4. The books mentioned above are not about shiny castles but - shocking - about
barnyards!

You need to scale the network to handle increasing traffic and ensure the required service quality.
There are two methods for balancing surging user traffic – GeoDNS and BGP Anycast (a brief description of these technologies).
We'll examine how large companies tackle this task.
Let's move on to how you can solve these problems yourself, using open utilities and route information data.
Following this, we'll discuss an approach for expanding the BGP Anycast network.
For a global network expansion, two key questions arise:
- Where (in which country) should a new node be installed?
- Which local provider should it connect to for optimal service quality?
To answer the first question, we'll utilize the RIPE Atlas public toolkit to create an RTT map, highlighting regions with maximum network delays. This reveals the weak points in our current network.
To answer the second question, we'll describe a method based on analysing route information, which can be used to select the best providers in the region.
Simplistically, the method can be described as follows:
1. We gather route information from some BGP collector (e.g., RIPE, Route Views, PCH)
2. Using this data, we identify major players in the market – regional leaders, employing various metrics (a brief overview of these metrics and the algorithms behind them is provided).
3. We create a rating of the most promising providers for connection and select candidates from this rating.
This systematic approach swiftly identifies optimal locations for new node installation, enabling effective network development.

Nonfunctional Requirements (NFRs) define system attributes such as security, reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, and usability. They serve as constraints or restrictions on the design of the system across the different backlogs. Non-functional requirements are just as critical as functional Epics, Capabilities, Features, and Stories. They ensure the usability and effectiveness of the entire system. Failing to meet any one of them can result in systems that fail to satisfy internal business, user, or market needs, or that do not fulfill mandatory requirements imposed by regulatory or standards agencies. This session is about modelling and sizing critical NFRs for large distributed systems on cloud.

1. **What risks do we get when choosing opensource solution? Top rules to consider when deciding to use opensource:**
1. Few words first about pros of OS (free, community etc.)
2. Risks: Bugs can take a long time to resolve (may not be fixed at all) + examples. You might need to write Workaround’s or solve it yourself. Software can become depricated and lose any support (examples of response from support for such cases)
3. Top Rules:
1. Be careful which OS you choose. Keep in mind that if you make a fork of the repository (a certain tag or version), support comes to you. You can get away with it, but no one is save here
2. If the solution you choose has many dependencies, each of which evolves independently, do not be lazy to study the history of versioning and compatibility. It is quite possible that one of the elements of the system may dramatically change the way it works and bring you a lot of pain (As an example at some point one of your opensource dependencies can suddenly go from binary-extension to database extension, consisting lots of migrations. And so, rollback for such a case might become tricky). Besides, solutions are often offered for single-node clusters and multi-node (high-available) clusters (different configurations). In such cases the support and development are often not parallel either
3. Study experience of other companies. It is quite possible that the chosen solution may not be able to handle your needs.
4. Try the solution on sandboxes/playgrounds, often provided by the vendors themselves
2. **How and what we might encounter when using opensource when it has become depricated?**
1. Consider challenges and problems we can fase using opensource (ex. - Solution for your architecture & tech stack does not work correctly)
3. **Saving the drowning. How to survive? Our story**
1. In common, the right solution is to switch to another software that has support. Or apply the vendor's recommendations. However, the customer may not be ready to spend time and money on the migration and want everything to work here and now (at least for some time). In this case we need to fix what we have.
2. On our example I will tell what we faced, where we had problems, how we fixed it during migration from deprecated soft to non-deprecated
In brief: Opensource solution, that we were using became deprecated. From that time support of the system fell on our shoulders. While migrating to another solutions, we still needed to fix bugs and issues ourselves and keep system running. Main thesises:
1. Do not draw conclusions about the correct work of the system at once and not chase deadlines. It is better to observe time and load, than to shoot from your hip and fix the consequences.
2. Do not be afraid to dive into the source code and even rebuild your custom images (show our example)
3. Be sure to monitor the key critical metrics. Define them for yourself (also tell on our example)
3. Our story about moving from deprecated solution to supported one (TimescaleDB → Victoria Metrics). Main problems and thesises:
1. There is usually no ready-made solution (data-migrator), or it may not work well. You will probably have to write it yourself. What do you need to consider first for such a migration:
1. Define how your data is stored (which tables, whether key-value only, perhaps there are series and labels lists). How can you retrieve and migrate them as quickly as possible? Show it on our case
2. Understand how to bring data to the new system. How to parallelize and fasten the process (example: upload/download to each datanode (shard) separately)
2. As a conclusion tell how total time was spent on the migration process and how much control was needed.
4. **Costs and expenses. Price for moving from depricated opensource to a supported solution**
1. How much time does it take to implement whole migration process? From analysis to process start
2. What competencies are needed, specialists of which roles might be necessary to add to the whole process?

I will show how to use 12 factor app methodology in prantice.
Factor 1: share libs but not code. How to share own code between services? Local package server like nuget
Factor 2. Self-contain build for .NET on Java allows to avoid additional dependences
Factor 6 about stateless services. Is is posible to use in-memory cache when we need single instance of some service. But in-memory cache should be hidden using some generic interface. When we need to scale the service then we replace in-memory cache by Redis cache using configuration without changes in application code.
Factor 6: it is also possible to use file system for example for CSV export. But file should be removed when it closed. And requests should not search for files created by other requests.
Factor 9: graceful shutdown. IHostApplicationLifetime interface allows to react on application shutdown. Also I will show how to configure Quartz to finish background tasks such way that the can be resumed or restarted bu other instanses of the same service.
Factor 11: logging to stdout. If service writes logs to some service like Elsatic or Datadog then it is possible to lose some log records on service crash. So it is needed to use sidecar pattern, addtional service to read logs from console and upload to logs storage.
Factor 12: admin tasks as a process. I will talk about SQL migration tools like EF Core bundle and EF Core extension which allows to add any SQL script to the migration (https://github.com/CUSTIS-public/CUSTIS.NetCore.EF.MigrationGenerationExtensions). And I will show how to implement a tool to fix schema of NoSql data storages.

Emerging travel group
In travel tech search engines are a different thing from common IT. In IT you store all the data inside your database, and then you need to create some index. For the aggregators in travel tech you can only fetch available hotels with prices through API in real time.
A simple solution can start as a IO bound service with classic key value storage like redis. Then you try to make a good HA multi master redis, but fail and switch to Aerospike. Later suppliers ask you to lower search requests to API, and you come with custom load balancing based on rendezvous hashing to group them. Some suppliers ask to have a white IP for ACL, but your bare-metal infrastructure does not have a NAT gateway as AWS and you need to fine-tune the HAProxy by hand.
So we will see how we evolutionary come to these and other decisions.

Need to continuously ingest data from numerous disparate and non-overlapping data sources and then merge them together into one huge knowledge graph to deliver insights to your end users?
Pretty cool, huh? And what about multi-tenancy, mirroring access policies and data provenance? Perhaps, incremental loading of data? Or monitoring the current state of ingestion in a highly-decoupled distributed microservices-based environment?
In my talk I will tell you our story: all started with a simple idea of building connectors, we ended up building fully configurable and massively scalable data ingestion pipelines which deliver disparate data pieces to a single data lake for their later decomposition and digestion in a multi-tenant environment. All while allowing customers and business analysts to create and configure their own ingestion pipelines in a friendly way with a bespoke pipeline designer with each pipeline building block being a separate decoupled microservice (think Airflow, AWS Step Functions, Azure Data Factory and Azure Logic Apps). Furthermore, we'll touch such aspects as choreography vs orchestration, incremental loading strategies, ingestion of access control policies (ABAC, RBAC, ACLs), parallel data processing, how frameworks can help in the implementation of cross-cutting concerns, and even briefly talk about the benefits of knowledge graphs.

Using PostgreSQL for all backend technologies can make your stack simpler, reduce the number of moving parts, speed up development, lower your risk, and deliver more features to your users. PostgreSQL can replace many other backend technologies, such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, Mongo, and Redis, and can handle millions of users.
In modern world you have many options for tooling.
You can use different SQL databases/NoSQL databases/full text search engines/queues/messaging systems/etc.
But what if you could simplify your tech stack (in accordance with expected tradeoffs) and focus on one technology instead of many tools?
And it's name is PostgresSQL! :)
You can use it as:
1. Message queue

Storage is the heart of every database. But which storage is fastest? And which is best for your analytic application? This talk explores the trade-offs between the main storage types available in all major public clouds. We’ll start with basic performance metrics. Using ClickHouse as an example, we’ll show how databases access different storage types and how it translates to query speeds visible to your users. Spoiler: the fastest storage does not always give the best query performance. We’ll reveal standard tricks like caching, volume stacking, sorting, and compression that help you build fast analytic applications even on so-called “slow” storage.

Spoiler alert: BSONs suck and nothing works really well for them, everything you thought is a lie (including the cake), hash tables suck, binary searches suck (even the clever ones and of course the naive ones), AVX2 sucks, maybe AVX512 sucks too (maybe I'll have the time to try that).

The world is changing faster and faster, and technology is changing with it. Not so long ago we were working with gigabytes, but tomorrow we will be short of zettabytes. The high speed of change has become a real challenge for Enterprise Architecture.
In order to understand how the world of technology is changing, we will discuss the key stages of IT Architecture development and its transformation into Enterprise, key technologies and trends, as well as demonstrate the current approach to managing the complex IT landscape in large companies.
In the first part the focus will be on the development of trends. Classic IT domains will be discussed: development, integration, infrastructure, data, platforms and others. For each of them, the evolution of the approach to solving different tasks will be demonstrated and current trends in their development will be presented.
The second part presents modern approaches in Enterprise Architecture management: based on business capabilities, using generative artificial intelligence, architecture as a code / Governance as a Code and much more. We will discuss the theory and methodology, and then examine them with practical examples based on the experience of implementation in large companies.

The task of content moderation requires a lot of resources and time using a manual approach. That is why we are implementing ML models to solve this problem.
However, under conditions of high loads and the need for maximum fault tolerance, it's needed to choose the right solution for integrating ML models. NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server turned out to be such a tool for us.
Triton Inference Server is a powerful software that supports inferencing of several models at once and can allocate and use computing resources efficiently. However, in situations where high fault tolerance and maximum automation are required, features of pure Triton are not enough.
To meet the requirements that arise when working with a ML models in production, a number of solutions have been developed to improve stability and fault tolerance.
Main topics to be covered:
* Ensuring scalability
* Additional condition monitoring tools
* Full control and automation of model updates
* Ability to create individual instances for different models for efficient resource utilizing and fault tolerance
Thus, an attempt was made to create a Triton as a Service to make the models integration be easy and improve the stability of the system as a whole.

* it is difficult to implement unique constraints
* unable to load aggregate with any relations, only data from stream
* HTTP Patch doesn't work
* projections shouldn't have unique indexes and foreign keys
* production data anonymizer should fill new event store with anonymized events

As a result, something is measured, some alerts are sent into the chat, no one responds to them, and one day the major incident happens.
In the talk we will:
- define monitoring antipatterns;
- pick the most critical metrics and ways to see insights in charts;
- represent the system in the terminology of queue theory;
- figure out how to choose lower–level metrics and how to use them to find problems;
- discuss why alerts are helpful, and when they are not needed.

Strong SLA tends to be a requirement in the modern digital world, and it's actually required in fintech like companies. But some things are not important at the first look could dramatically breach SLA, especially when we deal with highly loaded services.
Our team works on an observability platform we created at Tinkoff and named "Sage". Sage is an internal product and covers the whole ecosystem of the company. Sage is a pretty loaded system and gets 4 Gigabytes/s of incoming traffic and holds 7.5 Petabytes of user's data.
In my talk, I'm going to share with you experience of overcoming several failures (hardware and software) we got operating that system due to small things we didn't pay enough attention.

I will be delivering a presentation on how to improve the developer experience by using the Backstage Developer's Portal. Backstage is an open-source platform that allows you to create your own developer portal. Many well-known companies, including Unity, Netflix, and Spotify, have already implemented this highly adaptable platform.
My discussion will center around the key features of Backstage, such as software templating, cataloging, searching, and a straightforward portal for all documentation. By utilizing Backstage, you can overcome various developer challenges, such as managing documentation, clarifying relationships between different parts of your software, identifying the responsible person for a particular module or source code piece, or launching a new project with best practices.
Furthermore, I will demonstrate how you can manage multiple applications from a single portal by creating plugins in the backend, and how you can enhance the user experience by offering.

Self-driving vehicles, as any mobile robots, are complex systems of hardware and software components, each with potentially unique failure scenarios. Ability to quickly respond to suboptimal performance and component failure is key to getting from a prototype to production and then scaling the business.
One of the most popular frameworks for building high-level robotic software, the Robot Operating System (ROS), allows convenient hands-on debugging, but requires additional integrations for remote monitoring.
I’ll give an overview of ROS and the unique challenges of robotic systems, talk about the standard diagnostics capabilities in ROS, and then show how we use VictoriaMetrics and Grafana to greatly enhance observability of our fleet of autonomous trucks.

ClickHouse is not an out-of-the box solution for logs (like ELK & Grafana Loki) and requires some additional work to make it suitable for storing & querying logs. But, due to it's powerful SQL capabilities, fast data ingestion and good data compression it allows to use it even for logs. In this talk I will describe
* Why did we choose ClickHouse instead of other solutions
* How logs are propagated from apps to ClickHouse
* Logs structure: we use structured-based logging, so what exactly we collect
* How we designed ClickHouse tables for storing logs: column based storage, data retention, storage tiers, etc
* How ClickHouse storage works in context of logs structure
* How we implemented full-text search on a top of ClickHouse, which does not contain it out-of-the box
* How ClickHouse performs against Loki & Elastic in terms of storage size

During this session, I will first discuss the capabilities and practical applications of Ansible. Later on, I will demonstrate how we can use Ansible for automation, write Ansible playbooks, and utilize them for scaling instances and deployment. Furthermore, I will explain how developers can take advantage of Ansible by utilizing various plugins.
During my discussion, I will delve into the principal workings of Ansible and provide guidance on how to get started configuring your cloud infrastructure. This will include the configuration of the Manager, Application Deployment, Orchestration, and Cloud Provisioning using Ansible.
With Ansible, you can deploy multitier applications quickly and easily, without the need to write custom code for system automation. Instead, you can compile a list of tasks in a playbook, and Ansible will determine how to configure your systems to the desired state. Ansible has been designed to ensure that configuration management is simple, reliable, and consistent, making it an ideal choice for IT professionals. Additionally, Ansible offers various APIs that can be utilized to expand connection types, callbacks, and other functions.
Furthermore, I will explore Ansible's provability and audibility while reproducing applications in Docker on the Cloud, as well as provide guidance on how to create your own plugins that can be used with any cloud service provider.
