Unlocking Platform Velocity: Mastering Self-Service, Cross-Stack Perf, AI Loops

"Beyond the Vibes: Engineering Self-Service, Performance, and Trust in the AI Era" The engineering landscape is undergoing a massive shift. As platform engineering matures and AI agents weave into our daily workflows, 'just making it work' has evolved into a quest for scale, precision, and trust across the entire stack. Join us as we dive deep into three pillars of the next-generation developer ecosystem: • From Tickets to Autopilot: Engineering a Self-Service Product as a Platform Discover how to move away from ticket-driven infrastructure bottlenecks and design true self-service developer platforms. Learn the engineering principles required to treat your platform as a product—enabling developers to build, run, and scale their applications autonomously while maintaining guardrails. • From DB to DOM… to AI: A Performance Engineer's Journey Across the Backend, the Browser, and the AI Frontier AI has completely changed how we think about full-stack engineering. Take a journey with us from the depths of database optimization and browser rendering (DOM) straight to the cutting edge of AI-driven client interactions. We will share practical lessons on tracing performance bottlenecks across this expanded, complex modern architecture. • Loop-Validated, Confidence-Scored: Making 'Done' Measurable in the Age of Loop Engineering Stop prompting your agent—start designing the loop that prompts it. In 2026, the bottleneck isn't designing AI loops; it's trusting what they declare finished. Drawing concepts from CrewPE, we'll explore why 'vibes' are no longer a metric, how to build multi-dimensional validation loops with automated confidence scores, and why defining 'done' is the ultimate new responsibility for platform teams. Please note: All RSVPs are initially placed on a waiting list. We will confirm your spot shortly.
